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

The provided charts illustrate the demographic composition of the populations of France and India in the year 1984, highlighting significant disparities in their

age

structures.

Overall

, the demographic profiles reveal a markedly younger

population

in India compared to France, with a pronounced contrast in the distribution of

age

groups, particularly in the elderly segments. In the case of France, the

population

pyramid indicates a relatively stable

age

distribution characterized by a higher life expectancy. The proportion of individuals aged 0 to 5

years

is approximately 4%, which is nearly equivalent to the 3% represented by those aged 50

years

.

However

, the representation of the

population

diminishes progressively with increasing

age

, culminating in only about 1-2% of individuals reaching the

age

of 85 or older.

This

gradual decrease exhibits a balanced

age

structure, indicative of a developed nation with a longer life span.

Conversely

, India's

age

structure exhibits a pronounced youthfulness. The

population

of children aged 0 to 5

years

is notably higher, comprising around 7%,

while

there is a stark decline in the proportion of older individuals. Specifically, the percentage of those aged 70 and above is markedly low, around 1%, illustrating a life expectancy that significantly caps at 70

years

. The disparity between younger and older

age

groups is striking, as seen in the transition from 7% of newborns to below 2% for those in the older

age

brackets.
