    This document discusses population pyramids and related demographic concepts. It defines a population pyramid as a graph showing the age-sex composition of a population. There are two main types of pyramids: expansive, indicating high birth rates and population growth, and stationary, with little population change. It also explains the dependency ratio, demographic transition model, and the four stages (primitive, expanding, late expanding, zero growth) countries typically progress through as development increases.

    Population Pyramids

    Global Geography 12
    Population Pyramids

     A graph that shows the age-sex composition of


    a population.
    Cohorts

    A specific portion of
    the population that is
    combined together in
    an age group for the
    purposes of
    simplifying a
    population pyramid.
    Five-year cohorts are
    commonly used in
    population pyramids.
    2 Types of Population Pyramids
    1) expansive:
    An age-sex structure with
    a wide base and narrower
    top. This indicates a high
    birth rate and an
    expanding population.
    2) stationary:
    An age-sex structure that
    indicates no or very little
    population growth. The
    pyramid is characterized
    by relatively straight
    sides.
    Dependency Ratio
     The ratio between the number of dependants (anyone
    above or below the working age) and the number of
    people in the potential labour force. This ratio gives an
    indication of the level of economic development in the
    country as the higher the percentage of people of
    working age a country has the better off economically
    they should be.

     young dependants (YD): Anyone younger than 15


     old dependants (OD): Anyone 65 and older

     Dependency ratio = YD (%) + OD (%) x 100


    People of working age (%)
    Demographic Transition
     A multi-staged model showing changes in population as
    a result of a country’s economic development. The
    model is based on the changing population of Western
    Europe during industrialization.
    4 Stages of the Demographic
    Transition Model
    1) Primitive:
    High birth & death rates,
    moderately high population
    growth, primitive health and
    medical conditions, low life
    expectancy rate, very poor
    standard of living, least
    developed countries (LLDCs).
    2) Early Expanding:
    High birth rate, death rate
    drops dramatically, improved
    medical conditions, largely
    agricultural and rural
    population, large families,
    explosive population growth,
    less developed countries
    (LDCs).
    4 Stages of the Demographic
    Transition Model (continued)
    3) Late Expanding:
    Birth rate drops in response to high
    growth of stage 2, death rate
    continues to drop slowly, improved
    standard of living & change in
    societal values, birth control
    improved, women join the labour
    force, more urban nation (less
    rural), more manufacturing &
    industry, smaller families, total
    population growth is moderate and
    lowering.
    4) Zero Growth:
    Low birth & death rates, good
    medical & health conditions, long
    life expectancy, high standard of
    living, little population growth
    occurs-approaching zero
    population growth rate/ negative
    population growth, more developed
    countries (MDCs).

    Canada’s Dependency Ratio in
    2006
     Young dependants = young males (2.7% + 2.9% + 3.4%) + young females (2.6%
    + 2.8% + 3.2%) = 17.6%

     Old dependants = old males (1.9% + 1.6% + 1.2% + 0.8% + 0.5%) + old females

    (2% + 1.8% +1.6% + 1.3% + 1.1%) = 13.8%


     People of working age = 100% - (17.6% + 13.8%) = 68.6%

     Dependency ratio = YD (%) + OD (%) x 100


    People of working age (%)

     Canada’s Dependency Ratio for 2006 =


    ( (17.6% + 13.8%)/ 68.6% ) x 100 = 45.8 per 100 workers
    Canada is in Stage 4 of the
    Demographic Transition Model
    Because:
    Low birth & death rates
    Good medical & health conditions
    Long life expectancy
    High standard of living
    Little / negative population growth occurs
    More developed country (MDC).
