Study the three different pictures of population pyramid given below and answer the following question. (Q2) |
Which of the following age category represents ageing population? |
60 and above 65 and above 70 and above 59 and above |
60 and above |
Age structure represents the number of people of different age groups. This is an important indicator of population composition, since a large size of population in the age group of 15- 59 indicates a large working population. A greater proportion of population above 60 years represents an ageing population which requires more expenditure on health care facilities. |
