Given that girls are initiated before boys, as Nick points out, we could
just tweak my table as follows:
Male Female
Youngsters: 15% 10%
Initiands: 5% 5%
Young adults: 10% 15%
Mature adults: 10% 10%
This distorts the numbers for women of child-bearing age somewhat. Perhaps a change in adult categories to "Unmarried" and "Married" instead of Young and Mature is in order? I cannot see a quick fix as far as the percentages are concerned, except that the number of Married should be the same for both gender (else we have to manufacture a reason for all those extra Married women hanging about, sans husbands).
