Malaysia in 1960

The population of Malaysia in 1960 was 7,956,197. A decade earlier, in 1950, the population was 6,098,284; it has grown by 30.5% since. The median age was 17.5 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there were 87.8 children under 15 and 5.4 people aged 65 or over. The pyramid is expansive: its wide base of young cohorts reflects high fertility and a rapidly growing population.
