POPULATION PYRAMIDS

Objectives WHAT is a population pyramid? HOW to read a population pyramid? Recognise SHAPES of population pyramids. IMPORTANCE of population pyramids.

What is a population pyramid? The total population divided into five-year age groups the percentage of people in each of those age groups the percentage of males and females in each age group

Shape of pyramids is controlled by births deaths migration

What is a population pyramid? Vertical Axis - Age Groups Elderly dependents Working population Young dependents Horizontal Axis – Percentage / number of people

Types of Population Pyramid There main types of pyramids Rapid growth-Expansive Slow growth-Stationary Negative growth Shape of rapid growth - Expansive Shape of Slow growth-Stationary Shape of negative growth

Triangle Rectangle Beehive

Triangle or Rectangle or Beehive

Triangular-shaped Pyramid (Broad-based Pyramid)

Broad-based Pyramid Title: India, 2000 Shape: Broad Base - high birth rates Narrow Top - small elderly pop - high death rate Proportion: - Large proportion of young - high young dependency ratio Sex Ratio: Balance pyramid - Balance sex ratio

Beehive-shaped Pyramid

Beehive-shaped Pyramid Title: Singapore, 2000 Shape: Rocket-shaped / Narrow Base – Low Birth Rates, decreasing pop Proportion: Large proportion of working population, 15-59 yr old - large group of economically active pop Sex Ratio: Balanced pyramid

Rectangular-shaped Pyramid

Rectangular Pyramid Title: Netherlands, 2000 Shape: Rectangular-shaped - Zero Pop Growth Narrow Base - Low Birth Rates - Life-expectancy is high e.g. 80+ - Low death rates Proportion: Bars of equal length - Balance Proportion Sex Ratio: Balance pyramid - Balance Sex Ratio

Can you Interpret population Pyramids Six things to comment on Birth Rate Death Rate Infant mortality Life expectancy % of dependants to economically active Migration

Importance of Population Pyramids Policy Planning ~ future housing estates ~ future schools ~ future jobs Comparison with other countries ~ developed (US) vs developing (India)

Population pyramids are useful because they show: Trends in the birth rate, death rate, infant mortality rate and life expectancy - these trends can help a country to plan its future services, e.g. more homes for the elderly if there is an ageing population or fewer schools if there is a declining birth rate. The effects of people migrating into or out of a region or country. The proportion of the population who are economically active and the proportion who are dependent upon them (dependency ratio).

Summary

Expansive or Expanding Pyramids Expansive or expanding population pyramids have this classic triangular/pyramid shape.  The wide base of this population pyramid indicates a  high birth rate & the narrow top indicates a high death rate. Generally speaking an expanding population is characteristic of a lower standard of living: high birth rate due to poor access to birth control, lack of education etc.; high death rate due to poor medical care & nutrition

Stationary or Stable Population Stationary or Stable population pyramids have a 1/2 elipse shape.  The base of this population pyramid is similar in width to the population of the reproductive ages which indicates a stable population. Generally speaking stable populations are characteristic of a high standard of living due to: low birth rate due to good family planning, access to birth control, financial planning, education, etc.; low death rate due to good medical care, nutrition, education etc.

Contractive or Contracting Population Contractive or contracting population pyramids have a narrower base than the reproductive age population.  This indicates a  decreasing population trend.  The low birth rate is indicative of a well developed country.

Test Yourself What does the vertical axis on the population pyramid represent? What type of population pyramid is indicative of a lesser developed country? What does a narrow base to the population pyramid indicate? What type of population pyramid has a triangular shape? What type of population pyramid is wider at the reproductive age than at the pre-reproductive ages. _?_ are graphs that show the age structure of a population by age & gender. What type of population pyramid is depicted below? What characteristic of this population pyramid indicate its high death rate?
