The correct analysis of a stationary population pyramid is:
D. The older generation makes up a greater percentage than the younger generation.
In a stationary population pyramid, the percentage of the population in each age group remains relatively constant over time. This typically occurs when the birth rate is low and is balanced out by a low death rate. Therefore, the older generation tends to make up a greater percentage than the younger generation.
Using your understanding of how to analyze population pyramids which analysis of a stationary population pyramid is correct?
A. There is a low life expectancy for the population.
B. The younger generations are replacing the older generations at an equal rate.
C. The birth rate is significantly higher than the death rate.
D. The older generation makes up a greater percentage than the younger generation.
