Solution

  • The structure of the population refers to population composition.
  • The population composition helps in understanding the health conditions of people, their income levels, their occupation, their gender, the age group that they belong to, and their levels of education.
  • A good way to look at the composition of the population in a country is by studying the population pyramid, which is also known as the age-sex pyramid.
  • The population pyramid throws light on how the population is divided among various age groups i.e 10 to 14 years, 5 to 9 years etc.
  • In each of those groups, the percentage of the total population are further divided into females and males.
