The charts below compare the age structure of the populations of France and India in 1984.
The diagram gives information about the different
age
categories according to
both genders in two particular countries which are France
and India
in 1984.
From an overall
perspective, it can be seen clearly that the Indian population tended to expand, whilst the percentage of inhabitance in France
had a stationary growth. In addition
, the birth rate in India
was higher than in France
, however
, the French lived longer than Indians.
First and foremost, France
adopted a mature age
structure
type, with more than a third of the population (32%) being in young adults (15-35 years old) and approximately 24% being in middle-aged adults (35-55 years old). Moving to the second diagram, it can be understood from the statistic that the age
structure
of India
's population had a typical young structure
which was wide at the bottom. To be specific, the 0-15 age
group in India
(over 40%) was much larger than the same pattern in France
(21%). While
the top oldest age
in India
was around 70, the figure for France
was up to 85.
Looking closely at sexes, in the 50 and above age
range, there was a noticeably high proportion of French women than men. For instance
, almost 3% of people in the 80-85 age
group were women, and men only took up 1%. However
, the age
structure
of India
had a balance between the two genders.Submitted by chik4037 on
