In 2023, Europe had a total population of 745,602,874 people. Over the previous ten years the population grew by 0.6%, up from 741,470,781 in 2013.
With a median age of 43.2 years, Europe had a youth dependency ratio of 24.1 and an old-age dependency ratio of 31.2 per 100 people of working age. The narrow base of the pyramid marks a constrictive age structure: fertility below replacement level and a rising share of older people.
