Australia in 1988

The population of Australia in 1988 was 16,594,099. A decade earlier, in 1978, the population was 14,367,098; it has grown by 15.5% since. The median age was 31.6 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there were 33.5 children under 15 and 16.1 people aged 65 or over. The pyramid is stationary: cohort sizes are roughly even through the younger ages, reflecting fertility close to replacement level and slow population change.
