Progressive age structure is characterised by higher number of young people, who can work and signifies a developing economy.

Regressive age structure has a lower proportion of young population, which means the working population is less, as in the case of a declining economy.

An intermediate age structure lies between the two.

Malthusian Theory propounds that the increasing human population will be kept in check by natural calamities.

Marx's Theory states that a nation's wealth should be shared equally by all and it should be controlled by the State.
