Have fun with population pyramids!



Yes... population pyramids can be fun! You just have to animate them, to appreciate what they show a little better.






Try this website, for instance: http://populationpyramid.net/.






Try looking at several different pyramids. Select the first letter of the country you are interested in, and then select the country from the list that appears. Try comparing the UK, Sweden, Italy with some from the Middle East (Saudi Arabia and Quatar?), with some from Africa (Kenya, Nigeria, Mali?). Can you explain why they look so different?
