Sri Lanka in 1990

The population of Sri Lanka in 1990 was 16,352,457. A decade earlier, in 1980, the population was 14,847,974; it has grown by 10.1% since. The median age was 23.6 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there were 52.6 children under 15 and 9.1 people aged 65 or over. The pyramid is expansive: its wide base of young cohorts reflects high fertility and a rapidly growing population.
