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.
