8 Number of years for a population to double in size (like a bank deposit at compound interest) Doubling Time Doubling time = 45 years Doubling time = 54 years

10 Reading a Population Pyramid Every nation has a certain distribution of population by age group. India, for instance, has a young population; the majority of people are under the age of 30. To show how the population of a country is distributed by age, a population pyramid is a very useful tool.

11 Make your own Population Pyramid 20 + 18-19 16-17 14-15 12-13 20 15 10 5 5 10 15 20 Males Females

12 Construct a Population Pyramid using the following population demographics Age GroupMales (2011 est) Females (2011 est) (years) 0-14 32,000,000 31,000,000 15-64 104,000,000 105,000,000 65+ 18,000,000 23,000,000

16 Analyzing Population Pyramids What would this population pyramid represent? College or university—high population at 18-24 years

17 Analyzing Population Pyramids Most of the population is ages 25-29 and 55-59 which shows the largest part of the population will be elderly. The population is decreasing What is this country going to need in the future?

18 Look at what else one can ‘see’ in these diagrams
