The charts below compare the age structure of the populations of France and India in 1984.

The charts provide data relating to the comparison of the

population

pyramids of India and

France

in 1984.

Overall

, it is obvious that the younger generations of India represented an enormous

proportion

of the

population

and the

population

decreased over the ages

whereas

the

population

of

France

levelled off until the quadragenarians’

index

. It is conspicuous that there was a gradual rise in the

population

of

France

commencing from 0-5 to 30-35 in both genders, except for a small dip in the

index

of females, who are 5-10 years. The

proportion

of people who are 30-35

together with

10 to 20 aged men culminated at 4%, the highest of any category in

France

. It is noteworthy that after the quadragenarians'

proportion

, the

population

of seniors decreased and males’

index

was lower than females in all age brackets from 35-40 to 85 and above. It is interesting to note that the older the people got, the smaller the

proportion

became in India in 1984.

Furthermore

, there was the highest peak in the

population

of toddlers depicted at 7% and just over 6% for boys and girls respectively. Seniors who are between 65 and 70 represented an all-time low

index

providing just below 1% in all gender.
