Montenegro Population Pyramid 1968
Montenegro in 1968
In 1968, Montenegro had a total population of 519,308 people. A decade earlier, in 1958, the population was 458,806; it has grown by 13.2% since.
The median age was 23.7 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there were 57.3 children under 15 and 11.6 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.
