Southern Europe in 2010

The population of Southern Europe in 2010 was 154,228,014. A decade earlier, in 2000, the population was 145,705,973; it has grown by 5.8% since.

The median age was 41.5 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there were 22.3 children under 15 and 27.3 people aged 65 or over. The pyramid is constrictive: cohorts of children are smaller than those of their parents, reflecting low fertility and an ageing population.
