13. We can use this information in a number of ways to make predictions about a place and it’s people.
For example…

14. Which type of country is this?
Country XYZ

15. What can you tell about this country?
Students analyze the flow chart to determine the type of country.
Country ABC

16. How about this one?
This pyramid of the Philippines shows a triangle-shaped pyramid and reflects a high growth rate of about 2.1 percent annually.

17. And this one?
The population is growing at a rate of about 1.7 percent annually.
This growth rate is reflected in the more square-like structure of the pyramid.
Note the lump in the pyramid between the ages of about 35 to 50. This large segment of the population is the post-World War II "baby boom." As this population ages and climbs up the pyramid, there will be a much greater demand for medical and other geriatric services.

18. What does this population pyramid tell us about the USA in 2000?
Women out live men. Life expectancy is 85+ years. Population growing at a rate enough to sustain itself. Largest portion of population is years old. (stable workforce) etc…

19. This one? Germany is experiencing a period of negative growth (-0.1%).
As negative growth in a country continues, the population is reduced.
A population can shrink due to a low birth rate and a stable death rate.
Increased emigration may also be a contributor to a declining population.

20. Looking at the population pyramid, What can you tell about Zimbabwe?
Now you try.
Looking at the population pyramid,
What can you tell about Zimbabwe?

21. Small country, but Population is growing BASED ON SHAPE
Small country, but Population is growing BASED ON SHAPE. Even distribution of males and females in all age ranges. Men and women both live to be about 80+ ( not long for life expectancy) year olds make up majority of population. Etc. DEVELOPING COUNTRY.
