Guinea in 1963
As of 1963, Guinea counted 3,750,954 inhabitants. A decade earlier, in 1953, the population was 3,162,522; it has grown by 18.6% since.
Half of the population was younger than 20.4 years; 39.9% were children under 15 and 4.2% 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.
