The population of Oceania in 1978 was 22,383,131. Over the previous ten years the population grew by 19.9%, up from 18,669,866 in 1968.
The median age was 26.0 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there were 48.7 children under 15 and 12.3 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.
