Jamaica in 1970

In 1970, Jamaica had a total population of 1,878,196 people. Over the previous ten years the population grew by 13.8%, up from 1,650,005 in 1960. Half of the population was younger than 17.7 years; 45.0% were children under 15 and 6.0% 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.
