What is an age pyramid?

An age pyramid is a graphical representation of the age distribution of a population, typically displayed in the shape of a pyramid. The horizontal axis of the pyramid represents the population's age range, and the vertical axis displays the percentage of the population at each age. Typically, the youngest ages are at the bottom of the pyramid, with the oldest ages at the top. Age pyramids can provide valuable insights into population dynamics, such as birth rates, mortality rates, and migration patterns. They can also be useful in planning for future social and economic policies.
