Eastern Europe Population Pyramid 1975
Eastern Europe in 1975
In 1975, Eastern Europe had a total population of 285,403,763 people. A decade earlier, in 1965, the population was 266,503,827; it has grown by 7.1% since.
Half of the population was younger than 31.2 years; 23.3% were children under 15 and 9.7% were 65 or older. The pyramid is stationary: cohort sizes are roughly even through the younger ages, reflecting fertility close to replacement level and slow population change.
