Population Profile- a chart showing the number of people as a function of their ages- also called a population pyramid.
A population profile shows the number of people in each age group within a country. Here, the profile shows each age group as a percentage of the total population, instead of as a calculated number. They are always divided into male and female populations. From a population profile, it is possible to discern events that have affected the population of the country. This is a profile of Finland, with two different years shown. A label points to the Great Famine, showing how the population from that time is significantly smaller. Other labels show the Baby Boom generation as a rise in the total number of people and the subsequent decline in birth rates as a smaller percentage of the population.
