Question

Explain with the help of examples how population pyramids help in understanding about the population of the country. class 8

Answer 1

The population pyramid is a graphical illustration that is constructed for the purpose of studying the population composition of countries. It provides information about the number of males and females in the population and their precise age groups. The age group details help in determining the number of dependents and the economically active citizens present in the population.

Answer 2

Answer :

A population pyramid in which the base is broad and the top part is narrow means that although a large amount of births take place, not all grow up to be adults and old; it means many die before reaching these ages. This indicates a large death rate and Kenya shows such a pyramid. This means a high population growth rate.

In countries like India, the death rate is decreasing, so the pyramid is broad in the younger age groups, and the size of the pyramid decreases steadily.
