What does the shape say about

population? much younger age. They began at the age up, where the death rate drast8ically

actually has a decrease of 4.0% to 3.9%.

*My country, Taiwan is taken over by China. So, my population has been included through this
information.

The two pyramids look really similar, however, there are a few different things that I noticed between
the two-years chosen. For example, I noticed that in the year of 95’ there was far more births than in
2017. For female there is a slight change of 1.2% and 1.4% for male. For my prediction, I decided to
actually use the website and see what scientist think the population for china will be in the year of 2050.
The data seemed to show only a slight difference in the population, however it was actually a decrease
in numbers! They predicted that the population would actually decrease a number of about 40,176,362.
Not only that, but the actual pyramid would look much more a box then a tree! Which means that the
population number in that year would pretty much stay the same! Which can only make sense! China is
one of the ones with the highest population numbers and with the laws to help decrease those
numbers, makes sense that in a couple of years their population would become more stable.
