The ratio stood at 64 in 1950 and 60 in 2.8 million since then. This group can be expected to 1940. Another consequence of age differentials in population growth is that the average age of the popu lation has been dropping. The median age (the one which divides the population into two equal parts, Figure 1.- POPULATION REACHING SELECTED AGES one-half of the population being older than the median 1951 TO 1962 and one-half younger) declined from 30.2 years in 1950 MILLIONS to 28.9 years in 1962, the lowest it has been since 5.0 1940 (table B).
