Summary

Europe in 2015

As of 2015, Europe counted 744,237,035 inhabitants. A decade earlier, in 2005, the population was 732,046,514; it has grown by 1.7% since.

Half of the population was younger than 41.4 years; 15.8% were children under 15 and 17.5% were 65 or older. This is a constrictive pyramid — its base is narrower than its middle, the signature of sustained low birth rates and population ageing.
