Age cohorts and growth
groups of similarly aged individuals
pre-reproductive
0-14 cohort =
reproductive age
15-44 cohort =
post-reproductive
45+ cohort =
Current and future growth
Larger 0-14 cohort =
Slight growth/stable
Roughly equal 0-14 & 15-44 cohorts =
population decline
Larger 15-44 cohort =
rapid growth
Extreme Pyramid shape =

slow, stable growth
Less extreme pyramid =
