Melanesia in 2008

In 2008, Melanesia had a total population of 9,075,912 people. That is 33.5% more than in 1998, when the population stood at 6,800,078. Half of the population was younger than 21.2 years; 37.2% were children under 15 and 3.0% 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.
