A population pyramid is a graphical representation that shows the age and gender distribution of a population. It  includes:

  • Age groups (on the vertical axis)

  • Gender (male on one side, female on the other)

  • The width of the bars represents the population size of each group, which helps interpret growth trends (e.g., whether a population is expanding, stable, or declining).
