In 2011, Europe had a total population of 739,359,205 people. That is 1.5% more than in 2001, when the population stood at 728,237,723.

The median age was 40.5 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there were 22.9 children under 15 and 24.0 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.
