INTRODUCTION: A population pyramid

in a human population (typically that of a country or region of the world), which normally forms

pyramid. The pyramid typically consists of two back

axis and age on the Y-axis. one showing the number of males and one showing females in a particular population

in five-year age groups. The ages that are grouped together are called a cohort.

Information that can be read from population pyramids can display a great d

population when broken down by age and sex. Information from the graphs

development and other aspects of the population. A population pyramid also

range live in the area. In general, there tends to be more females than males in the older age groups, due to

females' longer life expectancy.

depending on the rate of births and deaths.
