Ecology Interview Question:

What are the main characteristics of the age pyramids of developed countries?

Submitted by: Administrator

In a stabilized human population, the age pyramid has narrower base since the reproduction rate is not so high. The adult age ranges are generally wider than the infantile ranges showing that in practice there is no population growth. There is a proportionally high number of old individuals meaning that the life quality is elevated and the population has access to health services and good nutrition. These are features of the age pyramids of developed countries.
