In 1966 , while 35 % of youngsters under 19 years old made a decision to have a first child,

the percentage of women aged from 20-24 was the highest among six categories
( approximately 62% ) which witnessed a roughly 12 % decrease 20 years after. By the
contrast, so little did women older than 40 give the first childbirth in 1966 in which stood at
almost 4 % that was about 35% lower than females from 25-29. There was a similar trend
recorded in 30-34 group and 35-39 group ( around 11% and 9% respectively ) .

The bar chart illustrates the percentage of Australian women who gave
birth to their first baby by the six age groups in 1966, 1986 and 2006.
It is clear that there was a downward trend with the number of females
in Australia being aged of 20 to 24 and under 20(2) whilst other
categories were on the rise (2) . In addition, the rate of women older
than 40 had been stabilizing at the lowest position over the period of
time.
In 1966, the 20-24 years old group had the highest percentage of women,
above 60%, which was appoximately 31 times as many as the oldest age
group with the least number . The 25-29 years old group and 19 and under
group had a similar proportion of women, at around 35%. Only 12% of
mothers between 30-34 years old decided to have their first child, which
was approximately 4% higher than the 35 to 39 age group. Twenty years
later, the most common age to have the first child in Australia was 25 to
30, with half of women in this age range delivering their first baby in
1986.
By 2006, the proportion of first time mothers declined considerably to
above 10% and 30% respectively. The highest record that year was
seen in the 30-34 cohort (roughly 50%) which was10 times as many as
the above 40-year-old women group. The second oldest group also saw
significant increase, reaching 30% whereas the figure for the 25-29
cohort returned to the 1966 level..

The given line graph demonstrates how the New Zealand population has
been changing in a 100-year period from 1950.
Overall, the number of citizens being aged of 0 to 14 and 38 to 45 is
likely to increase whereas other categories were forecasted to fall.
Additionally, the percentage of individuals older than 65 has been
stabilizing at the highest point over the period of time.
In the period 1950-1990, there was a slight raising in the number of
people younger than 15 (from 6% to 2%) while the over 65 cohort was in
contrast which had the proportion escalated from 60% and reached a
peak of roughly 67%. Similar to the highest age group, the 38-45 years
old group witnessed the rapid rate increase, about 5% every one decade
from 22% in 1950. The population at the second youngest cohort
fluctuated before experiencing a remaining at 18% during the later half of
the period.
After 1990, during 10 years, the number of citizens under 15 went up by
approximately 8%, which is the dropped figure of the other three
categories. Over the following two decades, the populations of 25-37
and over 65 age groups declined marginally and were foreseen to
continue decreasing until 2050, around 1% and 56% respectively. On
the contrary, 17% and 35% are seriatedly expected proportions of under
15 and 38- 45 cohorts after experiencing an upward trend in the 50-year
period from 2000.

The line graph demonstrates how the demand to attend music concerts
of citizens in five age groups in one city changed from 2010 to 2015.
Overall, the number of people being aged of 25 to 44 and 55 to 64
reduced while other cohorts were in contrast. In addtion to that, the
percentage of individuals older than 75 remained at the lowest postion
over the period of time.
In 2010, the youngest and oldest age groups witnessed the rapid
increase in the figure of attendees in music concerts, by roughly 11%
before reaching 51% and 21% respectively in 2011. On the contrary,
there was a downward trend with the percentage of people in the 25-44
and 45-54 cohorts, to 40% and 30% respectively after decreasing by
10%. In addtion to that, only 22% of the remaining age group chose to
go to the concerts.
Over the following 5 years, the youngest age group experienced the
fastest growth of 30%, reaching a peak of 70% of concert attendees at
the end of the period. There was a gradual rise to 50% in the data of the
participation of those aged 25 to 44. The attendance levels of the two
most senior cohorts were 20% each at the end of the period.
