Population Pyramid

Populationpyramid.net is a website that shows the population of every country. It also shows the population decreasing an increasing every year. The website demonstrates this by dividing the population of a country by women and women and by age groups. The men are always on the left of the scale. The women are always on the right side of the scale. The youngest people at at the bottom of the pyramid. The oldest people are at the top of the pyramid. They are counted by five year increments. While watching the TED talk we learned that the prerepreductive age is between four and fourteen. Also that the reproductive age usually is between fifth teen and forty four. The post reproductive ages rage between forty five to death.  I also learned about pre-industrialized, industrialized, and post-industrialized. Industrialize is used when a developed country's econmy has a strong stable industry.
