Europe in 1970

The population of Europe in 1970 was 656,998,548. A decade earlier, in 1960, the population was 605,817,186; it has grown by 8.4% since. With a median age of 31.8 years, Europe had a youth dependency ratio of 39.2 and an old-age dependency ratio of 16.3 per 100 people of working age. This is a stationary pyramid — similar numbers in each age group up to the older cohorts, the signature of near-replacement fertility.
