Micronesia Population Pyramid 1978
Micronesia in 1978
In 1978, Micronesia had a total population of 302,720 people. A decade earlier, in 1968, the population was 243,287; it has grown by 24.4% since.
The median age was 18.8 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there were 74.7 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.
