New Zealand in 1970

In 1970, New Zealand had a total population of 2,822,178 people. A decade earlier, in 1960, the population was 2,379,481; it has grown by 18.6% since. Half of the population was younger than 25.6 years; 31.9% were children under 15 and 8.5% were 65 or older. The pyramid is expansive: its wide base of young cohorts reflects high fertility and a rapidly growing population.
