Dear Stata List, 
I would like to –reshape- my data. 
Currently, my data is arranged such that the age-specific populations appear as one observation for each year and sex: 
Year  UN_Name Un_Code Sex Age15 Age20 Age25……Age80  Reg6  Reg14
2005  Albania      8               1      500    466      453             150 Eur    EurD
2006  Albania      8               1      550    500      498             160 Eur     EurD
2010  Albania      8               1      600    567      542             165 Eur    EurD
2005  Albania      8               2      400    395      350             140 Eur    EurD
2006  Albania      8               2      498    445      390             121 Eur    EurD
2010  Albania      8               2      534    500      486              133 Eur    EurD
2005  Andorra     20             1       500    450      423             100      Eur     EurC
2006  Andorra     20             1       534    480      420             110      Eur     EurC
……
I would like to reshape it so that for every year and sex, each age in the age-specific population is one observation and appears alongside the population number it represents to be as:  
Year  UN_Name Un_Code Sex  Age        Pop  Reg6  Reg14
2005  Albania       8               1     Age15   500      Eur     EurD
2005  Albania       8               1     Age20   466      Eur     EurD
2005 Albania        8               1     Age25   453      Eur     EurD
2005 Albania        8               1     Age30   …….
..
..
2005  Albania       8               2     Age15   400      Eur     EurD
2005  Albania       8               2     Age20   395      Eur     EurD
2005  Albania       8               2     Age25   350      Eur     EurD
2005  Albania       8               2     Age30   ……    Eur     EurD
..
I tried to reshape my data when I ran into several errors + there is the added complication of creating a two new variables of « Age » and « Pop ». 
 
Will be grateful for your help. 
 
Regards, 
Gauri
