    The document discusses population pyramids for several countries in 2015 and projections for 2050. Key points include: 1) Zambia's pyramid in 2015 shows many young people, indicating high birth rates, while Japan's shows more middle-aged people, signifying lower birth rates. 2) China's pyramid will have fewer young people and women having fewer children in 2050 compared to 2015. The population around age 50 will remain similar. 3) India's pyramids show the same population pattern in 2015 and 2050, though with more people overall projected for 2050. 4) The document also discusses issues India faces from high birth rates, women's status, and poverty that need

    Read the blog post from the PRB about Population Pyramids and do the
    following:
    a. Compare the Population Pyramid for Zambia and for Japan
    (clickable links in the text). What are the different conclusions that
    can be drawn by looking at total numbers vs. percentages?
    Zambia: Zambia has many more people starting at 0-4 years of age for both
    males and females, and then the numbers drop as the age increases. I can
    tell that the young groups of this population are healthier and better off than
    the older group of the population. The younger people of this Bureau are
    increasing, the adults and older people are having many children.
    Japan: Just like Zambia, the males and females in the population for japan
    increase and decrease at the same rate. The middle-aged population have
    many more people than the young and the old population of Japan. It seems
    to me that the greater number of adults are not having as many children as
    the population in Zambia.
    b. At the bottom of the document, click the link to the US Census
    Bureau International Data Base.
    c. Create Pyramids for China, India, US, Germany and South Africa
    for both the current year and for 2050. (Select Report: Population
    Pyramid Graph, Select Year: 2014 & 2050, click Submit)

    1. In 2015, China has many more middle aged people than it will in 2050.
    2. In 2050, China will have less of the young population, women will start
    having less children.
    3. The population around the age of 50 will stay about the same
    throughout the years.

    1. A similarity between the year of 2015 and 2050 in India, is that the
    population shows the same pattern.
    2. In 2050, the population is believed to have more people, but show the
    same pattern.

    1. The population seems to get larger in 2050 than the population right
    now (2015)
    2. The population for males and females are closer together in 2050 than
    the males and females in 2015.

    1. There more females and males in 2015 than there will be in 2050.

    1. The population for both females and males in 2015 drop significantly
    starting at age 30 in 2015.
    2. The male population will be greater than the female population in 2050.
    3. In 2015, the male population is a lot less than there will be in 2050.
    3. We watched the first segment of World in the Balance, a case study
    about Indias population (0-23:00). Describe the population issues India
    must address regarding high birth rates, status of women and poverty.
    What does their population pyramid tell you about what needs to be done
    in the future to support their population adequately?
    Men and women are treated very differently. Women are basically bossed around by
    their husbands and the men in their family. The husbands of these women decide
    and tell their wife when, and how many kids they want. The women dont really get
    any say. The population is increasing by a lot because these women are having lots

    of babies, close together in age. They are running out of room to live and raise their
    children.
    4. Follow the link to: Lesson Plan: 2014 World Population Data Sheet.
    Complete Activity 1 (Questions 1-15), use the PRB Data Finder , charts and
    maps by topic, International section to view country rankings for each
    indicator.
    1. What is the population of the world?
    About 7.2 billion
    2. Rank the ten countries with the largest population largest to
    smallest
    China, India, USA, Indonesia, Brazil, Pakistan, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Russia,
    Japan
