I would think the percentage of children would be higher. In the fantasy setting this would be placed in, a majority of the work force would be family labor. Even today farmers tend to have at least one child to help work the fields, etc. Depending on the crop they may not even need many migrant workers for help. One example I can think of is a local tobacco farmer that hires only one or two workers each season. The rest of the labor comes from his two sons, daughter, wife, and million dollar tobacco sorting equipment.
Thanks for posting up your random information to get some discussion going. I enjoy reading them when I get the chance.

if you change children to infants though it means you get a working population of 350...I can't see them needing 350 farms for 60 monks so the 350 farmers probably includes every child over the age of 5 or 6(the younger ones do stuff like collecting eggs, tending fires,vermin control at harvest time...which means you have a load of 9-10 year old kids handy with a sling or just a thrown rock..that sort of thing)

and i need to watch it again (and read the book, i have it since 4 years back and haven't being able!)
myc leric tries to be a bit in personality and focus like Sean connery in that movie... but with armor... and being female... so not that close, but aye her concept and forcus is ecclesiastic investigator
