HOW TO USE A POPULATION PYRAMID.

  • First look at the graph.
  • From bottom to top, the age increases from younger to older
  • Now look at differnt ages, and the line that extends from each of them.
  • This line determines how many people are in that selected age group.
  • The farther the line extends, the larger number of people that are in that group.
