Europe Population Pyramid 1978
Europe in 1978
In 1978, Europe had a total population of 687,433,743 people. Over the previous ten years the population grew by 6.0%, up from 648,613,875 in 1968.
Half of the population was younger than 32.5 years; 22.7% were children under 15 and 12.1% 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.
