Summary

Europe in 2002

As of 2002, Europe counted 729,126,514 inhabitants. The population was almost unchanged from 1992, when it stood at 727,616,691.

The median age was 38.2 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there were 24.7 children under 15 and 22.3 people aged 65 or over. The narrow base of the pyramid marks a constrictive age structure: fertility below replacement level and a rising share of older people.
