  • 1.1 Demographic Profile of the Greece
    1.1 DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILE OF THE GREECE The Demographics of Greece refer to the demography of the population that inhabits the Greek peninsula. As of January 2008, the population of Greece is estimated at 11,262,000 by Eurostat. Greece was inhabited as early as the Paleolithic period. Prior to the 2nd millennium BC, the Greek peninsula was inhabited by various pre-Hellenic peoples, the most notable of which were the Pelasgians. The Greek language ultimately dominated the peninsula and Greece's mosaic of small city-states became culturally similar. The population estimates on the Greeks during the 4th century BC, is approximately 3.5 million on the Greek peninsula and 4 to 6.5 million in the rest of the entire Mediterranean Basin,[5] including all colonies such as those in Magna Graecia, Asia Minor and the shores of the Black Sea. 1 Population: 11,329,618 Growth rate: 0.146% Birth rate: 9.45 births/1,000 population Death rate: 10.51 deaths/1,000 population Life expectancy: 79.66 years –male: 77.11 years –female: 82.37 years Fertility rate: 1.50 children born/woman Age structure: 0-14 years: 14.3% 15-64 years: 66.6% 65-over: 19.1% Sex ratio: At birth: 1.06 male(s)/female Under 15: 1.06 male(s)/female 15-64 years: 1.00 male(s)/female 65-over: 0.78 male(s)/female Nationality: Nationality: noun : Greek(s) adjective: Greek 2 1.2 GEOGRAPHY OF THE GREECE Continent: Europe Region: Southern Europe (Balkan Peninsula) Coordinates: 39°00′N 22°00′E / 39°N 22°E Area: Ranked 96th 131,940 km 2 (50,940 sq mi) 99.1% land 0.9% water Borders: Total land borders: 1,228 km (7 63 miles) Albania: 282 km (175 mi) Bulgaria: 494 km (307 mi) Turkey: 206 km (128 mi) Rep.
