Europe in 2021

In 2021, Europe had a total population of 748,613,504 people. Over the previous ten years the population grew by 1.3%, up from 739,359,205 in 2011.

The median age was 42.7 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there were 24.4 children under 15 and 29.9 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.
