What type of human population is represented by the adjacent pyramid?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsD
An age pyramid reflects the growth status of a community by plotting three specific age groups: pre-reproductive (young), reproductive (adults), and post-reproductive (elderly). A declining population features a lower percentage of individuals in the pre-reproductive age group compared to the reproductive age group. This causes the base of the diagram to shrink, giving it a distinctive urn-shaped structure with negative growth rates.
