Video:

(See Module 4) Population pyramids: Powerful predictors of the future – Kim Preshoff

Prompt:

The video discusses how changes in the population pyramid’s structure reflect changes in a country’s development, war, or other drastic events. Now, think about each line in the population pyramid as a population estimate of the number of people that will be in each age group in the future. Pick one of the countries whose population pyramid was displayed in the video and discuss what you think would happen if the estimates were off?

That is to say, what could potentially happen to a country that is expecting a certain age breakdown across the country, and they are wrong. What if a country under or over estimates the number of children, or seniors they might have? Or what implications could here be if a country is wrong about the number of "worker age" citizens they have?

Your response should be 400-750 words, in APA format, 12pt font, 1" margins, cover page,references page, etc. (abstract not required). Make sure to use a .doc, docx, or rtf file format and attach the file when submitting.

This assignment has a minimum of five (5) required sources. While the video can count as one source, this means you need to find additional sources to add detail and support to your answers. Look for real world examples in the news, peer reviewed journals, etc.
