What is a population pyramid, and what does a broad-based pyramid indicate?
Original Khojo Papers practice question — not from a past board paper.
Answer
A population pyramid is a pair of horizontal bar graphs showing the number of males and females in each age group. A broad-based pyramid indicates a high birth rate with a large proportion of children, so the population is young and will go on growing for many years even if the birth rate falls at once.
No citable source has been recorded for this record. Treat it as practice material, not as fact.
Explanation
A pyramid with straight sides indicates a stable population.
