It helps answer questions such asWhy are more schools closing than opening?Why will you likely have to work more years than your parents before retiring?Why are old rock-and-roll groups, such as the Rolling Stones, still so popular?Population PyramidsThe best way to compare populations of different countries is through population pyramids.It is a “paired horizontal bar graph” with females on the right and males on the left.Both sides show the percentages of people in each age group.Putting the two sides together can allow you to easily compare a country’s population for different years (or to compare different countries).The dependency load is the part of the population that needs to be supported. It is made up of two components: the 0–14 age group and the 65+ age group.This is how Canada’s population was divided in 1961. How old would a person born during the Depression (1930s) be at this time? ________________________ (age range)Were your parents baby boomers? ________________________How old would someone in the baby boomer generation be today? _________________ (age range)There is a slight difference between the death rate of men and women. Which gender survives better into old age? ___________________Use the 1996 Population Pyramid to answer these questions:Write the details of your age group and sex within the Canadian population.Age group__________ sex________________ percentage _________________What single age group and sex represents the largest percentage of Canada’s population?Age group__________ sex________________ percentage _________________Circle the 10-year age group that contains the largest percentage of the population.0-910-1920-2930-3940-49What percentage of Canada’s population is male and what percentage is female? (add he percentages for each sex.)Males__________ Females___________Write the percentages for males and females age 65 and over. Males__________ Females___________Explain why the 1996 population pyramid has a narrower base than that of the 1961 pyramid. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________a) populations are frequently divided into two categories: people who are of working-age (15-64) and people who are note of working age (under 15; 65 and over). Using the data on the table, give the percentage ofr each category in 1996:Working age:___________ Dependancy Load:____________b) List ways the working-age population contributes to Canada’s economic growth. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________c) Do you think the proportion of the population who are not of working age will change in the future? If so, which part (under 15, or 65 and over?) Explain.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Canada’s population is aging. This means that the median (or middle age) of Canadains is getting older.Demographics has become one of the hot topics of this decade. Demographers study population statistics and trends as you are doing in this activity. Among other things, organizations depend on the work of demographers to help plan the location of businesses; the number of schools, hospitals and retirement homes; the building of houses, condominums, and apartments; and the designing and marketing of products. What does Canada’s aging population mean for Canadian society? Become a demographer, and predict what might happen as a larger percentage of Canadians is over 65 years old.

Why might this be a problem? How might Canada stop this from happening?Create population pyramids using the data below. ?1971MaleFemale?2016MaleFemale0 to 44.274.080 to 45.65.25 to 95.275.045 to 95.65.310 to 145.415.1810 to 145.45.015 to 195.014.8515 to 195.95.520 to 244.544.5020 to 247.06.625 to 293.833.6625 to 297.06.830 to 343.132.9930 to 347.06.935 to 393.022.8435 to 396.86.740 to 442.992.8640 to 446.56.445 to 492.842.8645 to 496.76.650 to 542.402.4550 to 547.67.455 to 592.182.2155 to 597.47.360 to 641.761.8260 to 646.36.465 to 691.361.4965 to 695.45.570 to 740.951.1670 to 743.84.175 to 790.640.8575 to 792.63.180 to 840.390.5480 to 841.82.385 to 890.190.2785 to 891.11.790 and older0.060.1190 and older0.51.1Answer the following questions about your population pyramids:Explain the “bulge in the younger ages 9-25, of the 1971 pyramid. (I.e. why are they? When were they born? Why are there so many of them?)What has happened to the birth rate since this time? (I.e. have the “baby-boomers” had as many children as their parents did?) How can you tell by looking at the pyramids? Why do you think they have changed?What has happened to life expectancies since 1971? How can you tell by looking at the pyramids/ why do you think they have changed?Many of the baby boomers are beginning to retire. How might this be good and how might it be bad in 2016?Once the baby boomers begin to pass on, what may happen to Canada’s population? Why are two ways this might be avoided?Complete the data chart below to find out the percentage change in population for Canada’s provinces and territories.Absolute Change = Population of 2016 – Population 1996Percent Change = Absolute Change / Population 1996NOTE: if the population increased from 1996 – 2016 then the % change is positive, if the population decreased from 1996 – 2016 the % change is negative.Province/TerritoryPopulation 2016Population 1996Absolute Change Percentage ChangeCanada36,048,52127 296 859NFLD528,336568 474PEI146,933129 765NS945,824909 282NB754,735738 133QUE8,294,6567 138 795ON13,873,93310 753 573MAN1,303,8931 113 898SASK1,142,570990 237ALTA4,231,9592 696 826BC4,707,0213 724 500Yukon37,19330 766NWT44,29164 402Nunavut37,17421 000a) Name the proving/territories that have experienced percentage population change above the national average (Canada).b) Name the provinces and territories that have experienced percentage population change below the national average (Canada).c) Provide brief explanations for the above variations as they compare to the national average. ................
