Northern Europe Population Pyramid 1979
Northern Europe in 1979

The median age was 33.9 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there were 33.9 children under 15 and 22.5 people aged 65 or over. This is a stationary pyramid — similar numbers in each age group up to the older cohorts, the signature of near-replacement fertility.
