Geographers use population pyramids primarily to divide a population into age and sex groupings. By representing the age and sex distribution of a population in a graphical format, population pyramids provide valuable insights into the demographic structure of a region or country. This information helps geographers and other researchers analyze population trends, identify patterns of growth or decline, and make predictions about future population changes. While population pyramids can also provide information about other factors such as racial and ethnic composition, education levels, and income groups, their primary purpose is to analyze age and sex demographics.
