The line graphs show how many children and young people there are in Australia and this figure in percentages, beginning from 1958 until 2038.
To begin with, there were 3 million children aged 0-14 in Australia in 1958. This number rose steadily and is expected to reach 5 million in 2038. A little over 1 million 15-24 years olds resided in Australia in 1958. This figure is predicted to increase to 3.5 million in 2038.
The 0-14 year olds represented 30% of the population in 1958 with the percentage showing a gradual downward trend. A 10% drop is predicted for 2038. The percentage of 15-24 year olds is more or less the same, fluctuating between 14 and 17%. The 2038 percentage is likely to be the same as that of 1958 at 14%.
In conclusion, there are more 0-14 year olds in Australia than 15-24 year olds and there is likely to be more of both groups in 2038. However the percentage of children will drop and that of young people will remain relatively stable.
