Western Europe in 1970

In 1970, Western Europe had a total population of 165,732,705 people. That is 8.6% more than in 1960, when the population stood at 152,556,086. Half of the population was younger than 33.3 years; 24.1% were children under 15 and 13.1% 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.
