Eastern Asia in 1970

As of 1970, Eastern Asia counted 997,844,634 inhabitants. A decade earlier, in 1960, the population was 804,332,164; it has grown by 24.1% since. The median age was 20.1 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there were 68.3 children under 15 and 7.1 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.
