Population pyramids: Powerful predictors of the future - Kim Preshoff

when examined closely, they can help predict a country's future (and give important clues about the past. Kim Preshoff explains how using a visual tool called a population pyramid helps policymakers and social scientists make sense of the statistics, using three different countries' pyramids as examples. Lesson by Kim Preshoff bla: these predictions would be accurate IF life was math. And it isn't. The pyramids are pretty cool though, and very accurate in showcasing the ACTUAL demographics of a certain country, but like I said, anything (literally) can happen in the next minutes that shifts a country's population in any one direction, and even moreso in the next decade. Humans can predict the future in rare, isolated and certain circumstances, but not as much as statisticians would like to

Look at the home prices of a country when the mean age is around 35, especially major cities. Of course it's depend in each country situation. But just take a look
