Stable population
Declining population
Expanding population
As discussed in
Age distribution -
A population at any given time is composed of individuals of different ages. If the age distribution (percent individuals of a given age or age group) is plotted for the population, the resulting structure is called an age pyramid.
- wherein
For human population, the age pyramids generally show age distribution of males and females in a combined diagram. The shape of the pyramids reflects the growth status of the population - (a) whether it is growing, (b) stable or (c) declining
Figure shows declining population
