Switzerland in 1970

The population of Switzerland in 1970 was 6,180,922. A decade earlier, in 1960, the population was 5,327,781; it has grown by 16.0% since. Half of the population was younger than 32.0 years; 23.8% were children under 15 and 11.4% were 65 or older. The pyramid is stationary: cohort sizes are roughly even through the younger ages, reflecting fertility close to replacement level and slow population change.
