Eastern Asia in 1980

In 1980, Eastern Asia had a total population of 1,182,896,628 people. That is 18.5% more than in 1970, when the population stood at 997,844,634. The median age was 22.7 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there were 57.3 children under 15 and 8.0 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.
