While the life expectancy tables indicate the percentage of a population who will survive to a certain age, rather than the percentage which have
reached a given age, the numbers appear servicable. We would have to resort to guesswork, otherwise. If we use the age categories of PENDRAGON (with a few tweaks), Peter's table gives us:
11 Newborns
29 Children (1-14)
6 Tweenagers (15-19)
14 Young adults (20-34)
15 Mature adults (35-54)
7 Old adults (55+)

Looks good to me... let's run with it.
