  20. Expansive • a broad base, indicating a high proportion of children, a rapid rate of population growth, and a low proportion of older people. Nunavut is an example of an expansive type population pyramid.

  21. Stable Growth • a structure with indentations that even out and reflect slow growth over a period. Northwest Territories is an example of a stable type population pyramid.

  22. Stationary • a narrow base and roughly equal numbers in each age group, tapering off at the older ages. Manitoba is an example of a stationary type population pyramid.

  23. Declining • a high proportion of aged persons and declining numbers. Germany is an example of a declining type population pyramid.

  24. Dependency Ratios for Selected Countries United States .52 China .49 France .52 Indonesia .63 Vietnam .75 Bangladesh .72 Nepal .81 Nigeria .88

  25. Population Control in China: One Child Only

  26. Reflecting on Geography Should the citizens of fast growing countries have, as a basic human right, the opportunity to migrate to less densely settled countries. Are the governments of "overpopulated" countries justified in legally requiring small families? In requiring involuntary sterilization?
