Guyana in 1970

In 1970, Guyana had a total population of 702,704 people. A decade earlier, in 1960, the population was 569,143; it has grown by 23.5% since. With a median age of 16.5 years, Guyana had a youth dependency ratio of 93.6 and an old-age dependency ratio of 7.3 per 100 people of working age. 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.
