It is an assignment about Population Pyramid Assignment follow the requirement.

Copy the two pyramid charts into your word processing program with the remainder of the assignment (see questions below).

In this project, you will be learning how to construct, describe, compare, and interpret population pyramids

Refer to the U.S. Census Bureau's website: http://www.census.gov/population/international/data/idb/informationGateway.php.

Select "Report": "Population by Five Year Age Groups". Next, select your first country (chosen from sign-up sheet that was circulated during class), then Data for 2011. For "Aggregation", choose the first option "Show Individual Country Data Only". Don't select any of the options in the Region area. Be patient as the service is processing your request. Download "Custom Region for your country's table as: Excel" (bottom left hand corner). Save to your computer.

Questions

1. Define the term population pyramid and explain in your own words how it can help you interpret characteristics of a population (in a defined area). If you have used any references, please provide them (in APA citation format with author, date, title, publisher, and place of publication, if you are used to using another citation format, please provide the name and apply consistently to all your references).

2. Describe each of the pyramids that you created (for your two selected countries). In particular, describe any differences between the age ranges and male and female sides.

3. Compare your two created pyramids with each other and the 2011 pyramids for Canada and Sault Ste. Marie produced by Statistics Canada (see below). How are the four similar or different? How can the birth and death rates be characterized? Compare the pyramids to the diagrams on p. 64-5 in the text (Peters, Larkin, Webb, & Otiso, 2013).

4. Using other population data on the U.S. Census site and Statistics Canada (for example Sault Ste. Marie community profile) and other websites on the countries/region gathered through an internet search, explain any reasons you can find for the differences in the pyramids. For example, what is the level of economic development in each country/region? And, is there in or out-migration from the region and if so, what ages are migrating? Finally, describe what services each country and region (Sault Ste. Marie) might need in 2025 to service its population.
