Southern Europe in 2011

The population of Southern Europe in 2011 was 154,411,542. A decade earlier, in 2001, the population was 146,063,329; it has grown by 5.7% since.

The median age was 41.9 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there were 22.4 children under 15 and 27.7 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.
