Asia Population Pyramid 1976
Asia in 1976
The population of Asia in 1976 was 2,437,129,373. That is 25.6% more than in 1966, when the population stood at 1,940,809,586.
The median age was 20.1 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there were 71.7 children under 15 and 7.3 people aged 65 or over. This is an expansive pyramid — each cohort of children is larger than the one above it, the signature of high birth rates and rapid growth.
