Western Asia in 1970

As of 1970, Western Asia counted 86,525,213 inhabitants. A decade earlier, in 1960, the population was 65,267,115; it has grown by 32.6% since. Half of the population was younger than 18.8 years; 42.6% were children under 15 and 4.5% were 65 or older. This is an expansive pyramid — each cohort of children is larger than the one above it, the signature of high birth rates and rapid growth.
