However, it may imply as very high infant & childhood mortality rate. Check my math!
I assumed that the youngsters category applies to something like 12 years of life (say age 1 to 13?). That averages to about one Youngster per year. More or less the same math applies to the initiands category. It looks to me like 2 or 3 years of life, with four kids in it. So about 1 or 2 per year. However, we have 4 kids born this year. So, 2 or 3 of those will die before they turn 14 or so. That would be 50% or 75% of each year's kiddies.
