Democratic Republic of the Congo in 1970

As of 1970, the Democratic Republic of the Congo counted 20,137,436 inhabitants. That is 31.9% more than in 1960, when the population stood at 15,264,846. The median age was 18.4 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there were 80.9 children under 15 and 5.3 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.
