Asia Population Pyramid 2003
Asia in 2003
In 2003, Asia had a total population of 3,896,798,909 people. Over the previous ten years the population grew by 15.3%, up from 3,380,865,846 in 1993.
The median age was 26.5 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there were 44.9 children under 15 and 9.5 people aged 65 or over. This is a stationary pyramid — similar numbers in each age group up to the older cohorts, the signature of near-replacement fertility.
