Since the birth/death ratio is positive for both countries, this can be reflected in the population pyramids due to the high population of males and females in the age groups. Similar to the birth/death ratio, the natural increase of Brazil and Argentina are both positive and it can be displayed by the gradual increase of male and female population from the ages of 0-30. The relatively low infant mortality rates can be seen due to the high population of babies through the age group of 0-4 on both the population pyramids. Just like the infant mortality rates, the total fertility rates contribute to the base of the pyramid from ages 0-4. The high life expectancies for both countries can be visible on the pyramids due to the drastic decrease in male/female population from ages 70 and older. Both Argentina and Brazil’s population is congested in urban areas which reflects the high male/female population on the pyramids. Lastly, the GNP of both countries is high which reflects on the overall growth in population. Both countries are financially stable, allowing growth as a …show more content…
Developed countries have the means to sustain the country’s economy which ultimately affects the life of citizens. More means of survival can be introduced to citizens and sustainability can be granted, thus increasing the life expectancy of citizens which will contribute to population growth. Less developed countries have lower life expectancies because their citizens have limited means of survival. Therefore, the HDI of a country reflects the type/shape of the population pyramid made for a
