115. People ages shall be defined through the following method: Age for people who were born before January 5 of each year shall be defined by subtracting their year of birth from 1989.

Age for people who were born after January 5 of each year shall be defined by deducting their year of birth from 1989, then subtracting 1 from the remainder.
