Geography | Analysing and Interpreting Population Pyramids worksheet

By Yugen Learning

Analyzing and Interpreting Population Pyramids

In this no prep lesson is an activity for students learn to analyse and interpret the various types and shapes of population pyramids in a single activity.

Resources Included:

  • 10 slide editable Introduction and overview PowerPoint on reading and analysing Population pyramids
  • A3 Population Pyramid Worksheet to apply skills

Australian Geography Curriculum link:

Represent data in a range of appropriate forms, for example climate graphs, compound column graphs, population pyramids (ACHGS049)

Students will begin to see that certain features and shapes are often associated with particular population structures e.g. a wide base indicates a high birth rate, a narrow apex often indicates a high death rate, etc.

Within the lesson, students will be expected to apply this new knowledge and understanding by analyzing and interpreting a population pyramid from a range of countries.

Students also learn how variations in shape and size also relate to the dependency ratio (the amount of the population that is dependent on the working population) of a particular country. Students practice calculating and interpreting dependency ratio through a number of examples.

These slides can also be printed and displayed within the classroom or given to students as review notes.
