Population Pyramid

Today in class, we watched a video on the population pyramid. The men are on the left side and the women are on the right side. There is a five-year interval in order with infants, kids, young adults, middle age, and elders. Rwanda is very small compared to Russia however, they have around the same amount of people. Over the years, Russia's population will decrease as Rwanda's population will increase. Japan's population is decreasing. Their highest age group is the elderly. There are not many infants being born which means that there won't be any reproductive age groups giving birth to new infants. Rwanda's population is increasing because their highest age group is infants which means that there will be many reproductive age groups in the future to have more infants. Canada's population is slightly increasing. Their highest age group is the reproductive stage which means that they will have more infants in the future. Below are the age identifications and some pyramids.

0-14: pre-reproductive age group
15-44: reproductive age group
45-death: post reproductive age group
