    This document compares population pyramids from Iceland in 1970 and 2017. In 1970, the pyramid had the shape of a cup, indicating high numbers of young children who made up almost half the population. The highest percentage was among 5-9 year olds. In 2017, the pyramid had the shape of a Christmas tree, showing a more evenly distributed population. The highest percentage was now among 20-24 year olds. Elderly populations had increased as well. From 1970 to 2017, Iceland saw decreases in child populations but increases in life expectancy, resulting in a more balanced demographic profile over time.

    The population of Iceland rounded out from 1970-2017. In 1970 there was a high
    population of young children in the country. Fast forward to 2017 and now there is a high
    population of young adults. In the past of Iceland people were having lots of children but as time
    went on the number of children decreased. This could be many factors such as poverty, access to
    birth control methods, and women no longer were going to be treated as house wives. In 2017
    the population was much more balanced, people were also living longer than in 1970. Children
    were no longer the main source of population in 2017. From 1970 to 2017 the women were
    surpassing men in age and there were more women than there were men. For Iceland’s future I
    think the population will stay consistent. They might even grow in how long people are living.
