Polynesia Population Pyramid 1964
Polynesia in 1964
In 1964, Polynesia had a total population of 353,876 people. Over the previous ten years the population grew by 26.0%, up from 280,770 in 1954.
The median age was 16.0 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there were 97.6 children under 15 and 5.8 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.
