29. Expansive
a broad base, indicating a high proportion of children, a rapid rate of population growth, and a low proportion of older people. Nunavut is an example of an expansive type population pyramid.

30. Stable Growth
a structure with indentations that even out and reflect slow growth over a period. Northwest Territories is an example of a stable type population pyramid.

31. Stationary
a narrow base and roughly equal numbers in each age group, tapering off at the older ages. Manitoba is an example of a stationary type population pyramid.

32. Declining
a high proportion of aged persons and declining numbers. Germany is an example of a declining type population pyramid.

37. Reflecting on Geography
Should the citizens of fast growing countries have,
as a basic human right, the opportunity to migrate to
less densely settled countries.
Are the governments of "overpopulated" countries justified
in legally requiring small families? In requiring involuntary
sterilization?
