Population Pyramids

Population pyramids are visual representations of a country's age and sex distribution at a specific time. They typically have two vertical bars: one for males and one for females, with age groups listed on the y-axis. The width of each bar shows the number of people in that age group. A pyramid shape suggests a young population with high birth rates, while a more rectangular shape indicates an aging population with lower birth rates. Analyzing these pyramids helps understand demographic trends, social needs, and economic challenges a country may face.
