in geography what is the information depicted in population pyramid
In geography, a population pyramid is a graphical representation of a country or region's population structure. It displays the distribution of various age groups (typically in five-year increments) and the respective percentage of males and females in each age group.
The population pyramid provides information on the demographic characteristics of a population, helping to understand the age distribution, birth and death rates, life expectancy, and overall population growth or decline. By examining the shape and trends of the pyramid, geographers can gather data related to population dynamics, social and economic development, and the potential challenges and opportunities that a region may face in terms of healthcare, education, employment, and pension systems.
