Europe in 2006

The population of Europe in 2006 was 732,684,068. That is 0.5% more than in 1996, when the population stood at 729,369,826.

The median age was 39.3 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there were 23.1 children under 15 and 23.5 people aged 65 or over. The pyramid is constrictive: cohorts of children are smaller than those of their parents, reflecting low fertility and an ageing population.
