    The document compares two population pyramids from Kenya, one from 1990 and one from 2015. The 1990 pyramid has the shape of a Christmas tree, indicating the largest percentage of the population was under 4 years old. It also shows that the 0-4 age group had the highest percentage while the 85-89 age group had the lowest. There were many more people under 18 compared to adults in 1990. The 2015 pyramid still maintains the Christmas tree shape but is less drastic, showing improvement but still a high percentage of the population under 18.
