How to read a population pyramid
In a population pyramid, males are shown on the left and females on the right, with the youngest ages at the bottom and the oldest at the top. A wide base means many children relative to adults. A narrow base with a bulge higher up means low fertility and an older population.
Expansive
30% or more of people are under 15. 68 countries, e.g. Niger (45.8% under 15).
Stationary
Under 30% are under 15, without the narrow base below. 48 countries, e.g. India (23.8%).
Constrictive
Under 20% are under 15, and the 0–4 group is at most 85% the size of the largest 5-year group aged 15–49. 78 countries, e.g. Japan (11.0%).
