The population of Australia/New Zealand in 1973 was 16,497,672. A decade earlier, in 1963, the population was 13,451,379; it has grown by 22.6% since.
The median age was 27.5 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there were 45.8 children under 15 and 13.6 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.
