As of 1986, Western Asia counted 133,583,434 inhabitants. A decade earlier, in 1976, the population was 101,639,660; it has grown by 31.4% since.
Half of the population was younger than 19.8 years; 40.2% were children under 15 and 4.1% 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.
