- Describe - give an account in words, including all the relevant characteristics, qualities or events.
The pyramid takes on a chimney effect. The top 50% of the graph is very narrow, showing that there is a high death rate amongst the older population. The most common age amongst population is between 20-24. This means that in the future, the elderly will make up most of the population. The crude birth rate is seen as decreasing, in the lower part of the graph. There is a high youthful dependency ratio. The divide between male and female is nearly equal below the age of 44. However, after this age the elderly women take over most of the elderly population which makes the sex ratio uneven amongst the elderly.

- I think you can say there is a narrow top and a large base would be enough
ReplyDeletePoint out that there is a youthful population
- "This means that in the future, the elderly will make up most of the population." this is a describe question so you won't need predictions
- "The most common age amongst population is between 20-24."
