Stats - cont Compared with the non-Muslim Australians, Muslim Australians were significantly younger. Almost 40 per cent were younger than 20 compared with 27 per cent of non-Muslims. Around 37 per cent of Muslims and 27 per cent of nonMuslim Australians were between 20 and 39 years of age, Only 6 per cent of Muslims were older than 60 compared with 19 per cent of Non-Muslim Australians. Their age structure suggests that as a human resource Australian Muslims are concentrated in the more economically productive years of the lifecycle. 11/11/2009
