Turning to the details, age 25-29 initially stood at approximately 140 in 1973 and underwent moderate fluctuations during the following years. The figure decreased significantly, eventually reaching 120 by the end of the period. Similarly, age 20-25 began at roughly 120 in 1973 but experienced a gradual decline throughout the timeframe, falling to around 90 in the final year.
With regard to age 30-35, the figure started at about 70 in 1973 and rose moderately during the early years, before increasing sharply after 1988 to reach around 80 by 2008. In contrast, age under 20 commenced at 60 in 1973 and declined steadily, ultimately finishing at 40 by 2008..
Finally, age 35-39 began at 40 in 1973 and climbed significantly throughout the period, eventually, stabilising at around 60 by 2008. Similarly, age 40 and over initially stood at about 20 in 1973 and dropped gradually throughout the timefrmae, ending the period at approximately 10.
