Consists of two back-to-back bar graphs
population plotted on the X-axis and age on the Y-axis, in five-year age groups (cohorts).
Males are shown on the left and females on the right
Measured by raw number or as a percentage of the total population.

Where are you represented? Males? Females?
Oldest at top Youngest?
Each age group called a “cohort”

Expansive broad base rapid rate of population
growth low proportion of older
people. A steady upwards
narrowing shows that more people die at each higher age band.
This type of pyramid indicates a population in which there is a high birth rate, a high death rate and a short life expectancy.

Stationary narrow base and
roughly equal numbers in each age group, narrowing at the older ages.

proportion of aged persons and declining numbers of Births.

Population Pyramids are useful for:
Used to find the number of economic dependents in a population. Under 15 and over 65 (those who have the option of
retirement)
Dependency ratio = % under 15 + % over 64% 15-64
Used to observe natural increase, birth/mortality rates, breakdown by age range within a population
