Question
"Analysis of age-pyramids for human population can provide important inputs for long-term planning strategies." Explain.

Answer
Age pyramids show age distribution of males and females in a combined diagram.
The shape of the pyramid reflects the growth status of the population whether it is growing or stable or declining.
Pyramids also indicate the ratio of pre-reproductive, reproductive and post-reproductive individuals in a population.

Planning of health/education/transport/infrastructure/finance/food/employment can depend on the age-pyramid analysis of a population.
