Population Pyramids 1. A population pyramid can be used to understand reasons for population growth, 2. Such a diagram shows the age-sex structure of a country. 3. Countries with a slower growth rate will have a "straighter" population pyramid. 4. If the population pyramid has a more "pyramid like" shape, with a broader base and a narrow summit, the population of the country will continue to increase.
