Population Profile

This map was taken from http://www.fao.org/docrep/005/y8331e/y8331e05.htm

This is a good example of a population profile.  This is also referred to as a population pyramid.  This is a graph that lets the viewer know the age structure for a certain country.  In this example it shows the population of Botswana by 5-year age group showing that this country has a young age structure.  It also shows the estimated deficit of the population from the AIDS epidemic.
