Fiji in 2000
The population of Fiji in 2000 was 840,909. That is 8.7% more than in 1990, when the population stood at 773,316.
Half of the population was younger than 22.6 years; 34.3% were children under 15 and 3.4% were 65 or older. This is an expansive pyramid — each cohort of children is larger than the one above it, the signature of high birth rates and rapid growth.
