If a population pyramid has a very broad base and a very narrow top, what is the most appropriate interpretation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Child population is large and elderly population is small

A population pyramid displays age groups from young ages at the base to older ages near the top. The width of each section represents the relative size of that age group. A very broad base therefore means that many people are children or young dependants. A very narrow top means that comparatively few people survive into older age groups.

The best interpretation is option A: the child population is large and the elderly population is small. This shape commonly indicates a youthful population and often reflects high fertility in recent years, though the shape alone does not prove every cause. It does not mean that the working-age group is absent, and it is inconsistent with very low birth rates or an elderly-dominated population.
