Back in the "Clan and Stead Population" thread, I wrote:

Perhaps this needs to be:

                 Male  Female
CHILDREN: 50%
  Newborns:        5%     5%
  Youngsters:     16%    16%
  Initiands [*]:   4%     4%

ADULTS: 50%
  Young adults: 10.8%  10.8%
  Mature adults: 9.4%   9.4%
  Elders:        6.3%   6.3%

If we shift Initiands into the overall Children category, that increases the total number of overall Adults by 4% and may correct the problem.

[*] I have always considered this category to be as-yet-to-be-initiated children, rather than freshly-initiated adults.
