Libya in 1970

In 1970, Libya had a total population of 2,082,589 people. A decade earlier, in 1960, the population was 1,492,890; it has grown by 39.5% since. Half of the population was younger than 14.7 years; 50.9% were children under 15 and 3.3% 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.
