Polynesia Population Pyramid 1989
Polynesia in 1989
In 1989, Polynesia had a total population of 556,212 people. Over the previous ten years the population grew by 14.8%, up from 484,523 in 1979.
Half of the population was younger than 19.8 years; 39.3% were children under 15 and 3.6% were 65 or older. 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.
