Less Developed Countries

1. Population Pyramid of  Madagascar

Age structure: 

0-14 years: 39.50% (male 5,119,804 / female 5,037,438)
15-24 years: 20.25% (male 2,608,996 / female 2,587,745)
25-34 years: 15.15% (male 1,940,425 / female 1,937,330)
35-44 years: 10.25% (male 1,314, 644 / female 1,319,037)
45-54 years: 7.05% (male 905,209 / female 910,171)
55-64 years: 4.45% (male 560,072 / female 581,963)
65 years and over: 3.35% (male 390,094 / female 470,682) 

       A population pyramid shows the age and sex structure of a nation's population and may give bits of knowledge about political and social solidness, and additionally monetary improvement. The population is disseminated along the flat pivot, with guys appeared on the left and females on the right. The male and female population are separated into 5-year age bunches spoke to as flat bars along the vertical hub, with the most youthful age bunches at the base and the most established at the best. The state of the populace pyramid progressively advances after some time in light of richness, mortality, and worldwide movement patterns.

    This entry provides the distribution of the population according to age. Information is included by sex and age group as follows: 0-14 years (children), 15-24 years (early working age), 25-54 years (prime working age), 55-64 years (mature working age), 65 years and over (elderly). The age structure of a population affects a nation's key socioeconomic issues. Countries with young populations (high percentage under age 15) need to invest more in schools, while countries with older populations (high percentage ages 65 and over) need to invest more in the health sector. The age structure can also be used to help predict potential political issues. For example, the rapid growth of a young adult population unable to find employment can lead to unrest.

     One factor that may suggest otherwise for Madagascar's status as developing nation is the extremely low unemployment rate of 2.3%. Madagascar has very low unemployment compared to other developing nations, far less than the common levels of unemployment and underemployment in developing nations of 10-20%. The low unemployment percentage in Madagascar could be because employment is hard to measure. People in Madagascar could have given up searching for a job, work for a few hours on a family farm or business or some sort of trade or might want full-time work, but can only find a part-time job. 

   Other than that, the last and most important factor that Madagascar possesses to characterize the nation as a developing nation is the high population growth and dependency. The population growth rate estimate for 2018 in Madagascar is 0.34% and also, Madagascar's crude birth rate (births per 1000 of the population) is 37.10% and is ranked 33 out of 224 countries for the highest crude birth rate.  

     The high crude birth rate in developing countries tend to cause a high dependency ratio (the percentage of those who are non-productive, under the age of 15, expressed as a percentage of those of working age usually 15 to 64) because the high crude birth rate indicates that there are a lot of people under the age of 15, which means people of working age from 15 to 64 have to support a much larger proportion of children than in developed countries where the crude birth rate is much lower.

2. Population Pyramid of Afghanistan

Age structure: 
0-14 years: 41.00% (male 7,263,716 / female 7,033,427)
15-24 years: 21.60% (male 3,383,693 / female 3,749760)
25-34 years: 14.80% (male 2,635,971 / female 2,537,452)
35-44 years: 9.50% (male 1,680,960 / female 1,604,924)
45-54 years: 6.50% (male 1,139,374 / female 1,120,956)
55-64 years: 4.00% (male 679,766 / female 699,308)
65 years and over: 2.60% (male 420,445 / female 491,085)

     In 1979, a countrywide census was due to take place, but because of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, it was never completed. However, early indications pointed to the figure of 15.5 million citizens that have already been quoted. Therefore, the age group getting smaller according to the increasing of age. Many citizens had sacrificed due to the war and this has severely influenced the birth rate of Afghanistan, it shows a huge difference between the birth and death rate. So, there are fewer people in each age group. This shows the aftermath of Soviet-Afghan War. 

Afghanistan's population indicates that the most ages 0-14 years old, and followed by the next age group are decreasing by age. This population indicates that the Afghanistan state will have a large population in the future if the population aged 0-14 years remains to the total.

       The estimated figure of 32 million in 2015 equates to a population density of 49 people per square kilometer or 127 per square mile. This makes Afghanistan the 150th most densely populated country in the world.  

       As far as the ages of the population are concerned, evidence showed that at the start of 2012, it was claimed that just 2.4% of all Afghan citizens were aged over 65.
