Population pyramids show the STRUCTURE of a country’s population (age and gender)
People under 16 and over 65 are known as the DEPENDENT POPULATION because they depend on the rest of the population to provide them with services/goods e.g. education, health, pensions
The top is known as the APEX
Decreases in size of each cohort indicates a high death rate / infant mortality
The bottom is known as the BASE
A wide apex means lots of people are living a long time, death rate is low.
The HEIGHT of the pyramid is an indicator of LIFE EXPECTANCY
Age groups are split into sections called COHORTS
A narrow BASE indicates a LOW BIRTH RATE
Males are one side, females on the other
