The two population pyramids portray two different countries with different problems. The first point is with their healthcare. Both of these countries have a healthcare system which either positively or negatively affects their total population. The second point is these two countries’ economies. A nation with a more developed economy is going to be vastly different from a country with a poor economy. The final point is with these two countries’ government. If one of these nations has a corrupt government, that would affect their total population.
The first point is with these two countries’ healthcare. A country with better healthcare will have a bigger population and a lower death rate. This is because less people will die from disease and hospital complications opposed to the other country with a higher mortality rate because of their poor healthcare system. This will also lower the birth rate over time because less people will have a lot of kids because they know that a majority of them will live longer. The country with better healthcare is country B because of their lower birth rate and their high number of people 75+.
The second point is the economy. A better economy will also lead to the country being able to afford better healthcare. Country A for example has a poor economy. This is known because of their high number of children and adolescence who are put to work to provide for their families. Country B however has a much more developed economy. Because of their developed economy, it has become much less economically advantageous for a person to have more kids than less. This is because kids have become a liability rather than a economical advantage.
The final point is the government of these countries. Country A shows signs of being a developing country so this gives the possibility of the government being corrupt and not allowing the country to prosper. Country B also could have this happening if the country has implemented a law where a person can’t have more than one child causing the population to decline because their TFR is not meeting the rate for replacement.
Country A and Country B are very different countries. This is shown through their population pyramid through which you can also figure out things about these countries. For example, by analyzing the population pyramid, it is possible to assess the country’s economy and healthcare. This shows how powerful a population pyramid can be for understanding a country.
