Australia/New Zealand Population Pyramid 1970
Australia/New Zealand in 1970

The median age was 27.3 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there were 47.2 children under 15 and 13.5 people aged 65 or over. The pyramid is expansive: its wide base of young cohorts reflects high fertility and a rapidly growing population.
