Latin America and the Caribbean in 1960

In 1960, Latin America and the Caribbean had a total population of 219,267,873 people. A decade earlier, in 1950, the population was 167,782,158; it has grown by 30.7% since. Half of the population was younger than 18.5 years; 43.1% were children under 15 and 3.2% 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.
