Description
The Australian Demographic Databank (ADDB) was created in the 1970s and 1980s by scholars in the Research School of Social Sciences at the Australian National University. It was compiled using national data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics and covers the years 1921 to 1981. The database comprises population counts and demographic events by marital status, sex and single year of age from 0 to 108+. These events include deaths, marriages, divorces, arrivals and departures. Additionally, widowhood is an event for married individuals, classified by age and sex. Births are classified only by age of mother. The original ADDB files were lost over time. The current databank is a reformatted digitisation of the data contained in three printed volumes of tables produced by HP Brown, AR Hall, S Krishnamoorthy and B Derrick.

Demographic Events 1921-1981: Arrivals, Departures, Deaths, Death of Spouse, Marriages and Divorces, and Births. Births are classified by sex and age of mother in single years of age (15, 16, ..., 49). All other events are classified by sex and single years of age (0, 1, 2, ..., 108+). Except for Births and Death of Spouse, each event is classified by marital status (Single, Married, Widowed, Divorced).

Population 1921-1981 by single years of age (0, 1,2,......, 108+), sex and marital status (Single, Married, Widowed, Divorced). (2019-09-06)
