Population Pyramid

http://maps.unomaha.edu/Peterson/geog1000/Notes/Notes_Exam1/Population.html

Population pyramids are used to show age and sex distributions pertaining to a given region. The graphs above represent the age and sex distribution of France and India. This graph shows that in India that there are more 0-5 year old children of both sexes than any other age in the country and as age increase the percent of both sexes declines. The region of France is quite different, the population of both sexes are fairly even from ages 0-35 and then the population of both sexes slowly decreases. This graph also shows that the inhabitants of France tend to live to be much older (above 85) than the people living in India who on average die before reaching 70.
