The document compares two population pyramids showing Christmas tree shapes. Both pyramids indicate that the younger age groups have higher populations that decrease with increasing age. The 0-4 age group has the highest percentage of the population for both pyramids. The 80+ and 85-89 age groups have the lowest percentages. The first pyramid notes there was a large youth population boom previously but this is declining, meaning the older population could outnumber the young in the future if trends continue.
