Gambia in 1980

As of 1980, the Gambia counted 713,913 inhabitants. A decade earlier, in 1970, the population was 524,105; it has grown by 36.2% since. Half of the population was younger than 18.2 years; 43.7% were children under 15 and 4.0% were 65 or older. This is an expansive pyramid — each cohort of children is larger than the one above it, the signature of high birth rates and rapid growth.
