Asia Population Pyramid 2017
Asia in 2017
In 2017, Asia had a total population of 4,572,478,814 people. A decade earlier, in 2007, the population was 4,091,636,913; it has grown by 11.8% since.
Half of the population was younger than 30.6 years; 24.7% were children under 15 and 8.1% were 65 or older. The pyramid is stationary: cohort sizes are roughly even through the younger ages, reflecting fertility close to replacement level and slow population change.
