Population Profile



Here we see a population profile for Japan. As we all hear in the news, the birth rates in Japan are declining and these three maps show this. With a population profile, the bars represent the amount of individuals that fall in that age bracket of the y axis. The first graph shows high birth rates, and this is exemplified in the high number of children born. In the next two graphs, we can really see how the number of youth has declined and the amount of elderly has increased. These maps can be extremely helpful in analyzing population changes in a given location.
