Population pyramids are a type of graph that gives information about the number of people in each age group and the balance of males and females in a country's population. The pyramid is divided down the middle to show males on the left and females on the right. Each graph is a series of horizontal bar graphs stacked on top of one another. The youngest people in a society are shown in the bars at the bottom of the graph. The oldest people are on top. The length of each bar shows the percentage of the total population in each age group. Population pyramids are useful for studying issues related to the age and sex distribution of populations of different countries. For example, if you want to predict some of the things that will happen in a country, it helps to know about age groups. If people are old, then you know that you must plan for the needs of senior citizens.
