Europe in 2000

In 2000, Europe had a total population of 728,164,209 people. A decade earlier, in 1990, the population was 724,139,404; it has grown by 0.6% since.

Half of the population was younger than 37.6 years; 17.6% were children under 15 and 14.7% were 65 or older. The pyramid is constrictive: cohorts of children are smaller than those of their parents, reflecting low fertility and an ageing population.
