Equatorial Guinea Population Pyramid 1975
Equatorial Guinea in 1975
In 1975, Equatorial Guinea had a total population of 287,902 people. A decade earlier, in 1965, the population was still 298,238; it has declined by 3.5% since.
Half of the population was younger than 19.9 years; 40.5% were children under 15 and 4.9% 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.
