(starts from ages 0-4 and ends on age 100 and up) Age intervals are grouped together into pre-reproductive (ages 0-14), reproductive (15-44), and post-reproductive (ages 45 and up). Population pyramids can be very useful when predicting future population trends. You can predict whether a country's population will increase or not.
