Eastern Asia in 1960

As of 1960, Eastern Asia counted 804,332,164 inhabitants. That is 19.7% more than in 1950, when the population stood at 671,914,905. The median age was 21.4 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there were 68.9 children under 15 and 7.3 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.
