    The document compares two population pyramids from Greece from different time periods. Pyramid 1 from the 1950s shows a high birth rate and low death rate, resulting in a Christmas tree shape indicating higher populations in younger age groups. Pyramid 2 from 2015 shows the highest population is in the 40-44 age group, a low birth rate, and high death rate, resembling more of a box shape. This suggests Greece now has fewer births and an aging population.
