Hungary Population Pyramid 1974
Hungary in 1974
As of 1974, Hungary counted 10,453,913 inhabitants. A decade earlier, in 1964, the population was 10,114,371; it has grown by 3.4% since.
The median age was 34.3 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there were 29.8 children under 15 and 18.5 people aged 65 or over. The pyramid is constrictive: cohorts of children are smaller than those of their parents, reflecting low fertility and an ageing population.
