Eastern Africa in 1980

The population of Eastern Africa in 1980 was 146,269,641. A decade earlier, in 1970, the population was 109,784,398; it has grown by 33.2% since. Half of the population was younger than 16.4 years; 47.1% were children under 15 and 2.9% were 65 or older. 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.
