Oceania Population Pyramid 1971
Oceania in 1971
As of 1971, Oceania counted 20,035,727 inhabitants. A decade earlier, in 1961, the population was 16,216,518; it has grown by 23.6% since.
The median age was 24.9 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there were 54.1 children under 15 and 11.6 people aged 65 or over. 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.
