Mauritania in 1980

In 1980, Mauritania had a total population of 1,474,042 people. A decade earlier, in 1970, the population was 1,099,806; it has grown by 34.0% since. The median age was 17.0 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there were 89.8 children under 15 and 5.9 people aged 65 or over. 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.
