Oceania Population Pyramid 1981
Oceania in 1981
In 1981, Oceania had a total population of 23,307,157 people. That is 16.3% more than in 1971, when the population stood at 20,035,727.
The median age was 26.7 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there were 46.4 children under 15 and 12.8 people aged 65 or over. This is a stationary pyramid — similar numbers in each age group up to the older cohorts, the signature of near-replacement fertility.
