Biology

The study of human age pyramids can provide the following analyses: proportion of individuals at an economically active age; proportion of elderly (indicating the quality of the pension and health systems); proportion of children and youth (indicating need for job generation and educational services); reproductive profile (shows the population growth tendency); postnatal survival rate (indicates quality of the health system, hygiene conditions, nutrition and poverty); longevity profile; etc.

It is possible to predict whether a population belongs to a rich and industrialized society or to a poor country since the patterns of the age pyramids differ according to these conditions.
