Population Pyramid

A population pyramid is a graphical representation that shows the distribution of various age groups in a population, typically divided by gender. It resembles a pyramid shape, with younger ages at the bottom and older ages at the top. The width of each bar indicates the number of people in that age group. Analyzing a population pyramid helps to understand demographic trends, such as birth rates, death rates, and aging populations. It can indicate potential social and economic challenges a country may face, such as workforce size or healthcare needs, and is an important tool in planning for the future.
