Europe in 2010

The population of Europe in 2010 was 738,145,318. A decade earlier, in 2000, the population was 728,164,209; it has grown by 1.4% since.

The median age was 40.3 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there were 22.8 children under 15 and 23.8 people aged 65 or over. This is a constrictive pyramid — its base is narrower than its middle, the signature of sustained low birth rates and population ageing.
