Fix the mistake: Population and Cities

Population Pyramids

In this lesson, you will learn about “population pyramids,” one of the particularly important topics in population and cities. Rather than memorizing terms only, aim to be able to explain the mechanisms and reasons in your own words.

Key Point
The pyramid shape, with a large young population; the bell shape, with similar numbers in each generation; and the urn shape, with a small young population, indicate different stages of population development.
Points to Remember
  • Check the reasons, not just the conclusion
  • Distinguish similar terms and exceptions
  • Try using the same way of thinking with other examples

Practice

  1. Explain the key point in two sentences.
  2. Give one common misunderstanding and explain what is different about it.
  3. Check it by applying it to a familiar or specific example.
