1975Seychelles in 1975
In 1975, the Seychelles had a total population of 61,217 people. That is 26.8% more than in 1965, when the population stood at 48,270.
Half of the population was younger than 18.9 years; 41.2% were children under 15 and 6.1% 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.
