REVIEW: PYRAMID POWER!

Population Pyramids are just 2 Bar Graphs turned back-to-back so you can see population growth patterns.

One side shows MALES, the other side shows FEMALES

The population will either be graphed in RAW NUMBERS (like here) or in PERCENTAGES ( % like you’ll use on our practice graphs). NOT  Population Pyramids in percentages do NOT show you how big/small the population of a country is.  Population Pyramids in raw numbers make you add up all the info from both sides to get the total population.

The older population is on top – The younger population is on the bottom

Population Pyramids should be labeled with the LOCATION and the YEAR

Population Pyramids can also show Wars & Pandemics

Population Pyramids can have many shapes – theses shapes give you a good idea whether a population is growing, staying steady or shrinking and how quickly it’s happening.

Looking closely at the shape of a population pyramid can tell you a lot more than just whether a country is growing or shrinking in population

DEMOGRAPHIC TRANSITION MODEL

DEMOGRAPHIC TRANSITION MODEL STAGE 1: SLOW EXPANDING Fluctuating Birth Rates and Lower Death Rates Low Life Expectancy Low Total Population

DEMOGRAPHIC TRANSITION MODEL STAGE 2: RAPID EXPANDING Steady Birth Rates with Decreasing Death Rates Rising Life Expectancy Rapidly Increasing Total Population

DEMOGRAPHIC TRANSITION MODEL STAGE 3: STEADY Decreasing Birth Rates and Lower Death Rates Rising Life Expectancy Stationary Total Population

DEMOGRAPHIC TRANSITION MODEL STAGE 4: SHRINKING Lower Birth Rates and Lower Death Rates Low Life Expectancy Shrinking Total Population
