United Kingdom in 1950

As of 1950, the United Kingdom counted 50,121,017 inhabitants. The median age was 34.9 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there were 33.7 children under 15 and 16.2 people aged 65 or over. The pyramid is stationary: cohort sizes are roughly even through the younger ages, reflecting fertility close to replacement level and slow population change.
