The upper part of a population pyramid mainly represents which age group?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Elderly age group

A population pyramid arranges age groups vertically, with the youngest ages at the bottom and progressively older ages toward the top. The upper part therefore represents people in the older or elderly age groups. The exact age boundary may differ between statistical systems, but the visual meaning remains the same: the base shows children and the top shows the oldest people. The width of each section indicates how many people, or what share of the population, belongs to that age group.

Thus, option C, the elderly age group, is correct. Newborns, children, and young adolescents appear near the broad lower part of the pyramid, not at the top. A wider upper section suggests a relatively large older population and may be associated with ageing and greater old-age dependency. The pyramid does not place ages randomly; its vertical order is what allows the age structure to be read quickly.
