It will be seen in the accompanying Table that there was some indication
of this change in 1911 in women between 45 and 55, and in both
men and women over 65 years of age.
The reduction in population is thus confined to persons under 45 years
of age, and all the age periods below 45 are affected in both sexes. The
decline in the birth-rate during the last 20 years accounts to some extent
for the decrease in the number of persons in the groups up to 25. The
effect of the war is seen in the proportionately greater decrease of males
in the groups 15-25, 25-35 and 35-45 as compared with the figures for
females at the same ages.
