Australia/New Zealand in 1970

In 1970, Australia/New Zealand had a total population of 15,421,588 people. A decade earlier, in 1960, the population was 12,660,294; it has grown by 21.8% since. 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.
