Population Profile

Population Profiles are best represented as Population Pyramids. Population Pyramids show the age, gender, number, The graph has the ability to show birth rates, death rates, population decline, population increase, or population. Males are on the left and females are on the right. The horizontal axis shows number of people. The vertical axis shows the age of the population.

The graph shown is a Population Profile in the form of a pyramid. The Population Pyramid is of Poland in 2010. As you can see, the population is wavering. The reason for wavering like this is the same throughout most of Europe. The World Wars affect the populations greatly. The indentation at the age of 40 is probably because their parents were from the World War II era. The new indentation is probably forming because people are having fewer children in Europe all the time.
