Population Pyramid

Today during class we talked about the video you told us to watch on Friday as our homework. The video was about population pyramid and based on that, how we can figure out the the specific population of a group of age. The population pyramid looks like a side ways bar graph going outwards. The are two sides to a bar graph and one side is for the boy and the other is for the girls. In the middle of the graph is the age. There are many ways that the graph can change like industrialization, nature disasters, and education of women. Education of women is one because nowadays, there are more opportunities open out to women which means the population of the younger people will decrease because the women have more opportunities open to them. As a country slows in population growth, its pyramid shape will become rectangular. Things that a population pyramid shows is birth rates, population number, and death rates. In an advance state of industrialization you will have a stable population, good living conditions, long life expectancy, and low and death rates.
