Europe in 2004

As of 2004, Europe counted 731,246,189 inhabitants. The population was almost unchanged from 1994, when it stood at 728,884,651.

Half of the population was younger than 38.7 years; 16.2% were children under 15 and 15.6% 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.
