Which population pyramid is best for a country?


Open in App
Solution

Population pyramid:

  1. Age and sex are two variables that can be visualized using population pyramids.
  2. Population pyramids shows the distribution of ages within a population, subdivided by population gender.
  3. Two bar graphs—one for men and one for women—are placed side by side to create this graph.
  4. This allows you to determine what proportion of a population is of a particular gender and age range.
  5. No pyramid in and of itself can be said to be the best.
  6. Population pyramids are wider at the base and narrower at the top, which is where the majority of births and deaths occur.
  7. The base of such a pyramid must also be narrow for them to support their population.
  8. Other nations, on the other hand, may need a wider mid-line.
