1997Southern Europe in 1997
The population of Southern Europe in 1997 was 145,238,096. A decade earlier, in 1987, the population was 143,066,298; it has grown by 1.5% since.
The median age was 37.2 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there were 24.2 children under 15 and 22.9 people aged 65 or over. This is a constrictive pyramid — its base is narrower than its middle, the signature of sustained low birth rates and population ageing.
