  4. Population pyramid – Worthing, West Sussex (2001) Greater need for elderly provision e.g. pensions, care homes, medical care, social services. Larger proportion of women. Services needed for women’s health care and leisure provision. Elderly dependent sector will increase. Economy could be in status quo due to total dependents and economically active being fairly equal. Large economically active section. Dependent population just about supported. This sector will age. Few young coming up. Economy could decline. Large proportion of men to support economy. Fewer women, declining population. Narrower base than top. Source: National Statistics online

  6. Population pyramid – Wandsworth, London (2001) Busy area may discourage elderly and young adults unable to afford the area or due to lack of provision for them. Leisure provision caters for ‘upwardly mobile’ e.g. bars, clubs. Little provision for elderly, this could be problematic in the future. Could experience a baby boom as this group start to have families. Could be expensive due to lack of provision for young and decline in economy as women leave work force. This sector will age. Eventually leading to a large elderly dependent sector. Large economically active sector, thriving economy. Narrow base means fewer population coming though to economically active sector.
