Europe in 1960

In 1960, Europe had a total population of 605,817,186 people. A decade earlier, in 1950, the population was 548,867,474; it has grown by 10.4% since. With a median age of 30.3 years, Europe had a youth dependency ratio of 41.9 and an old-age dependency ratio of 13.6 per 100 people of working age. 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.
