Europe Population Pyramid 1961
Europe in 1961
The population of Europe in 1961 was 611,861,858. A decade earlier, in 1951, the population was 553,834,810; it has grown by 10.5% since.
The median age was 30.5 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there were 42.2 children under 15 and 13.8 people aged 65 or over. The pyramid is expansive: its wide base of young cohorts reflects high fertility and a rapidly growing population.
