Age structure of a population is the distribution of people among various ages and it is represented by a pyramid. This bracket of ages for both men and women is very important to social scientists, public health and health care experts, policy analysts, and policy-makers; because it illustrat...
Contrary to a common belief, the principal factor tending to change the age distribution of a population—and, hence, the general shape of the corresponding pyramid—is not the death ormortalityrates, but rather the rate of fertility. A rise or decline in mortality generally affects all age gr...

Over time, the shape of the world population pyramid is expected to shift from Stage 1 (high birth rates, high death rates) to something closer to Stage 4 (low birth rates, low death rates). As the population distribution skews older, here is how population size and global median age wil...
High-income countries were forecasted to accentuate the inverted shape of the age pyramid, with strong absolute decreases in the population younger than 65 years and absolute increases in the population aged 65 years or older under all scenarios. The south Asia; southeast Asia, east Asia, and ...
