Northern America Population Pyramid 1979
Northern America in 1979
The population of Northern America in 1979 was 251,921,716. A decade earlier, in 1969, the population was 226,438,644; it has grown by 11.3% since.
The median age was 29.8 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there were 34.4 children under 15 and 16.2 people aged 65 or over. The narrow base of the pyramid marks a constrictive age structure: fertility below replacement level and a rising share of older people.
