[[File:Population pyramid example.svg|300px|right|thumb|This distribution is named for the frequently pyramidal shape of its graph.]]
A '''population pyramid''', also called an '''age pyramid''' or '''age picture diagram''', is a graphical illustration that shows the distribution of various age groups in a [[population]] (typically that of a country or region of the world), which forms the shape of a [[pyramid]] when the population is growing. It is also used in ecology to determine the overall age distribution of a population; an indication of the reproductive capabilities and likelihood of the continuation of a species.
It typically consists of two back-to-back bar graphs, with the population plotted on the X-axis and age on the Y-axis, one showing the number of males and one showing females in a particular population in five-year age groups (also called [[Cohort (statistics)|cohorts]]). Males are conventionally shown on the left and females on the right, and they may be measured by raw number or as a [[percent]]age of the total population.
Population pyramids are often viewed as the most effective way to graphically depict the age and sex distribution of a population, partly because of the very clear image these pyramids present.<ref>[http://www.health.state.pa.us/hpa/stats/techassist/pyramids.htm Department of Health Home<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
A great deal of information about the population broken down by age and sex can be read from a population pyramid, and this can shed light on the [[Sustainable development|extent of development]] and other aspects of the population. A population pyramid also tells how many people of each age range live in the area. There tends to be more females than males in the older age groups, due to females' longer life expectancy.
==Types of population pyramid==
[[Image:DTM Pyramids.svg|450px|right|thumb|Population pyramids for 4 stages of the [[demographic transition]] model]]
While all countries' population pyramids differ, four general types have been identified by the fertility and mortality rates of a country.
;Stable pyramid
:A population pyramid showing an unchanging pattern of fertility and mortality.
;Stationary pyramid
:A population pyramid typical of countries with low fertility and low mortality, very similar to a constrictive pyramid.
;Expansive pyramid
:A population pyramid that is very wide at the base, indicating high birth and death rates.
;Constrictive pyramid
:A population pyramid that comes in at the bottom. The population is generally older on average, as the country has long life expectancy, a low death rate, but also a low birth rate. This pyramid is becoming more common, especially when immigrants are factored out, and is a typical pattern for a very developed country, a high level of education, easy access to and incentive to use birth control, good health care, and few negative environmental factors.

The expansive case was described as '''youth bulge''' by Gary Fuller (1995). [[Gunnar Heinsohn]] (2003) argues that an excess in especially young adult male population predictably leads to social unrest, [[war]] and [[terrorism]], as the "third and fourth sons" that find no prestigious positions in their existing societies rationalize their impetus to compete by religion or political ideology.
Heinsohn claims that most historical periods of social unrest lacking external triggers (such as rapid climatic changes or other catastrophic changes of the environment) and most [[genocide]]s can be readily explained as a result of a built-up youth bulge, including [[first European colonization wave (15th century–19th century)|European colonialism]], 20th-century [[fascism]], rise of [[Communism]] during the [[Cold War]], and ongoing conflicts such as that in [[Darfur conflict|Darfur]] and [[terrorism]]. {{Citation needed|date=April 2009}} This factor has been also used to account for the [[Arab Spring]] events.<ref name="cliodynamics.ru">[[Korotayev]] A. et al.[http://cliodynamics.ru/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=309&Itemid=1 A Trap At The Escape From The Trap?

A large population of adolescents entering the labor force and electorate strains at the seams of the economy and polity, which were designed for smaller populations. This creates unemployment and alienation unless new opportunities are created quickly enough - in which case a 'demographic dividend' accrues because productive workers outweigh young and elderly dependants. Yet the 16-30 age range is associated with risk-taking, especially among males. In general, youth bulges in developing countries are associated with higher unemployment and, as a result, a heightened risk of violence and political instability.<ref>Huntington, Samuel P. 1996.

Many countries with the largest youth bulge are African nations severely afflicted by the [[HIV/AIDS]] epidemic, which has decreased overall lifespan dramatically. As of 2012, the largest youth bulge is found in [[Zimbabwe]], which has a population structure with 56.57% between the ages of 15 and 29.<ref>{{citation | url = http://www.ifs.du.edu/ifs/frm_GraphicalDisplay.aspx?ListNames=%22Youth%20Bulge,%20Percent%20of%20Adult%20Pop%20Between%2015%20and%2029%22&HistFor=False&GrpOp=0&Dim1=182&File=0 | title = Zimbabwean Youth Bulge, Ages 15 to 29, Forecast provided by International Futures| accessdate = 2012-05-30}}{{dead link|date=April 2013}}</ref>

===The Middle East and North Africa===
{{Further|Demographic trap}}
The [[Middle East]] and [[North Africa]] are currently experiencing a prominent youth bulge. Structural changes in service provision, especially health care, beginning in the 1960s created the conditions for a population explosion, which has resulted in a population consisting primarily of younger people. It is estimated that around 65% of the regional population is under the age of 30.<ref>[http://www.shababinclusion.org/content/blog/detail/986/ Navtej Dhillon "The Role of the U.S. in the Middle East," Congressional Briefing (May 2008)]</ref>
The Middle East has invested more in education, including religious education, than most other regions such that education is available to most young people.<ref>[http://shababinclusion.org/content/document/detail/623/1 Navtej Dhillon, Tarik Yousef. "Inclusion: Meeting the 100 Million Youth Challenge"]</ref> However, that education has not led to higher levels of employment, and youth unemployment is currently at 25%, the highest of any single region.<ref>[http://www.shababinclusion.org/section/topics/employment Middle East Youth Initiative – Employment]</ref> Of this 25%, over half are first time entrants into the job market.<ref>[http://shababinclusion.org/content/document/detail/623/1 Navtej Dhillon, Tarik Yousef. "Inclusion: Meeting the 100 Million Youth Challenge" (2007)]</ref>
The youth bulge in the Middle East and North Africa has been favorably compared to that of East Asia, which harnessed this human capital and saw huge economic growth in recent decades.<ref>{{cite web|title=Youth – An Undervalued Asset: Towards a New Agenda in the Middle East and North Africa, Progress, Challenges and Way Forward," Middle East and North Africa Region Human Development Department (MNSHD), The World Bank, 2007|url=http://www.childmigration.net/files/433720SR0WHITE11PUBLIC10YPN1English.pdf|accessdate= 27 October 2011}}</ref> The youth bulge has been referred to by the [[Middle East Youth Initiative]] as a [[demographic gift]], which, if engaged, could fuel regional economic growth and development.<ref>{{cite web|title=Middle East Youth Initiative: About: Why Shabab?|url=http://www.shababinclusion.org/section/about/why_shabab|accessdate=27 October 2011}}</ref>
====Egypt's socio-economic challenges====
[[File:Flickr - Daveness 98 - Cityscape in Cairo.jpg|thumb|A poor neighbourhood in Cairo.]]
The population of [[Egypt]] grew from 30,083,419 in 1966<ref name="ReferenceOxford Atlas">The British Oxford economic atlas of the World 4th edition, ISBN 0-19-894107-2</ref> to roughly 79,000,000 by 2008.<ref name="popclock">{{cite web|url=http://www.msrintranet.capmas.gov.eg/pls/fdl/tst12e?action=&lname=|title=Central Agency for Population Mobilisation and Statistics — Population Clock (July 2008)|publisher=Msrintranet.capmas.gov.eg|date=|accessdate=25 August 2010}}</ref> The vast majority of Egyptians live in the limited spaces near the banks of the [[Nile]] River, in an area of about {{convert|40000|km2|sp=us}}, where the only [[arable land]] is found and competing with the need of human habitations.

[[File:Day of Anger marchers in street.jpg|thumb|right|The "Day of Revolt" on 25 January 2011 in Cairo.]]
According to the [[Peterson Institute for International Economics]] and other proponents of demographic structural approach ([[cliodynamics]]), the basic problem Egypt has is unemployment driven by a demographic [[youth bulge]]: with the number of new people entering the job force at about 4% a year, unemployment in Egypt is almost 10 times as high for [[college graduate]]s as it is for people who have gone through elementary school, particularly educated urban youth, who are precisely those people that were seen out in the streets during [[2011 Egyptian revolution]].<ref>[[Korotayev|Korotayev A.]], Zinkina J. [http://cliodynamics.ru/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=276&Itemid=70 Egyptian Revolution: A Demographic Structural Analysis. ''Entelequia.

This is in stark contrast to others like [[Kuwait]] and [[Saudi Arabia]], who are actively trying to engage and utilize their youth bulge, or [[Algeria]] and [[Morocco]], which have tried to mitigate the worst effects of a disenfranchised and disillusioned [[youth]].
==Uses of population pyramids==
{{main|Dependency ratio|Generational accounting}}
Population pyramids can be used to find the number of economic dependents being supported in a particular population. Economic dependents are defined as those under 15 (children who are in full-time education and therefore unable to work) and those over 65 (those who have the option of being retired). In some less developed countries children start work well before the age of 15, and in some developed countries it is common to not start work until 30 (like in the North European countries){{citation needed|date=September 2013}}, and people may work beyond the age of 65, or retire early. Therefore, the definition provides an approximation. In many countries, the government plans the economy in such a way that the working population can support these dependents. This number can be further used to calculate the dependency ratio in that population.
Population pyramids can be used to observe the natural increase, birth, and death rate.

This pyramid is becoming more common, especially when immigrants are factored out, and is a typical pattern for a very developed country, a high level of education, easy access to and incentive to use birth control, good health care, and few negative environmental factors.

-The expansive case was described as '''youth bulge''' by Gary Fuller (1995). [[Gunnar Heinsohn]] (2003) argues that an excess in especially young adult male population predictably leads to social unrest, [[war]] and [[terrorism]], as the "third and fourth sons" that find no prestigious positions in their existing societies rationalize their impetus to compete by religion or political ideology.
-
-Heinsohn claims that most historical periods of social unrest lacking external triggers (such as rapid climatic changes or other catastrophic changes of the environment) and most [[genocide]]s can be readily explained as a result of a built-up youth bulge, including [[first European colonization wave (15th century–19th century)|European colonialism]], 20th-century [[fascism]], rise of [[Communism]] during the [[Cold War]], and ongoing conflicts such as that in [[Darfur conflict|Darfur]] and [[terrorism]]. {{Citation needed|date=April 2009}} This factor has been also used to account for the [[Arab Spring]] events.<ref name="cliodynamics.ru">[[Korotayev]] A. et al.[http://cliodynamics.ru/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=309&Itemid=1 A Trap At The Escape From The Trap?

-The [[Middle East]] and [[North Africa]] are currently experiencing a prominent youth bulge.
