Asia Population Pyramid 2005
Asia in 2005
In 2005, Asia had a total population of 3,993,926,586 people. Over the previous ten years the population grew by 14.5%, up from 3,487,680,511 in 1995.
The median age was 27.1 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there were 42.7 children under 15 and 9.7 people aged 65 or over. The pyramid is stationary: cohort sizes are roughly even through the younger ages, reflecting fertility close to replacement level and slow population change.
