StoneSoup Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 There is a lot of underlying significance in the difference between these charts: Thailand http://populationpyr.../thailand/2015/ Philippines http://populationpyr...ilippines/2015/ Indonesia http://populationpyr...indonesia/2015/ Malaysia http://populationpyr.../malaysia/2015/ Japan http://populationpyr...net/japan/2015/ Korea http://populationpyr...-of-korea/2015/ NIgeria http://populationpyr...t/nigeria/2015/ India http://populationpyr...t/india/2015/ China http://populationpyr...net/china/2015/ Russia http://populationpyr...ederation/2015/ Israel: http://populationpyr...et/israel/2015/ Australia http://populationpyr...australia/2015/ USA http://populationpyr...f-america/2015/ UK http://populationpyr...d-kingdom/2015/ Canada http://populationpyr...et/canada/2015/ Palestine http://populationpyr...palestine/2015/ For an odd one, check out Saudi Arabia: http://populationpyr...di-arabia/2015/ and the, for a REALLY odd ones, see Qatar: http://populationpyr...t/qatar/2015/ and Oman: http://populationpyr....net/oman/2015/ Hong Kong is interesting: http://populationpyramid.net/hong-kong-sar-china/2015/ Compare Cambodia and Cuba http://populationpyr.../cambodia/2015/ http://populationpyr....net/cuba/2015/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radioman Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 Think some of the middle east ones are flawed. I've been working in Qatar the last couple of years and out of a 2.7 million persons in country only about 10% are Qatari national, 90% are transient labour, and predominantly male. That seems to be skewing the figures which are probably based on ID cards issued rather than national births and deaths. Further the immigrant workforce will likely have a more stable age grouping than that shown for the reasons that as it ages the individuals return to their home countries to retire and die.

radioman Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 I think you have to remove those large male "bubbles" to see a truer picture. What is clear from looking at most countries is the generally reducing birth rates even in more conservative cultures and under developed countries that tend to have higher reproductive rates.

StoneSoup Posted December 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 Note than on each country page, you can select a date for data - going back as far as 1950, and forward as far as 2100. There are some interesting things that happen when you look ahead, such as: Nigeria displaces USA as the third most populous country. Thailand's population declines over the next 30 years. I have no ability to judge the accuracy of this data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
