The peak of the pyramid may be a crude indication of life expectancy. One of the limitations of this measure of life expectancy is that the people represented by the peak were born in circumstances that might have differed considerably from current conditions.

What is the population pyramid?

A population pyramid shows the total percent of people in each age group. 1-4, 5-9 etc. There are four types of population pyramids: Expansive pyramid: A population pyramid showing a broad base, indicating a high proportion of children, a rapid rate of population growth, and a low proportion of older people. This wide base indicates a large number of children. A steady upwards narrowing shows that more people die at each higher age band. This type of pyramid indicates a population in which there is a high birth rate, a high death rate and a short life expectancy. This is the typical pattern for less economically developed countries, due to little access to and incentive to use birth control, negative environmental factors (for example, lack of clean water) and poor access to health care. Constrictive pyramid: A population pyramid showing lower numbers or percentages of younger people. The country will have a greying population which means that people are generally older, as the country has long life expectancy, a low death rate, but also a low birth rate. This pyramid has been occurring more frequently, especially when immigrants are factored out, and is often a typical pattern for a very developed country, a high over-all education and easy access and incentive to use birth control, good health care and few or no negative environmental factors. Stable pyramid: A population pyramid that shows an unchanging pattern of fertility and mortality. Stationary pyramid: A population pyramid typical of countries with low fertility and low mortality, very similar to a constrictive pyramid. Currently Canada is a Stable country but when all the Baby boomers retire we may not have enough younger people to fill their position because right now not enough babies are being born to keep our country stable so we may have to let in more immigrants then we usually do.


What is the age sex pyramid of a devoloped country?

The age-sex pyramid of a developed country typically shows a more even distribution of population across age groups, with narrower base due to lower birth rates. It may also show a larger proportion of older individuals, indicating longer life expectancy and lower fertility rates. This shape reflects a more stable population structure compared to developing countries with higher birth rates and younger populations.


Characteristics of a population pyramid?

A population pyramid is a graphical representation of a population's age and gender structure. It typically consists of two bar charts, one representing males and the other representing females, with age groups displayed on the horizontal axis and population size on the vertical axis. The shape of the population pyramid can provide insights into the population's dynamics, such as birth rates, life expectancy, and demographic trends.
