The charts below compare the age structure of the populations of France and India in 1984.
The bar charts illustrate the age groups which consist of the male and female populations in two different countries during 1984 respectively.
The old more than 60 years old accounts for a great part of France when compares to the figures of India, while younger people lead a significantly larger quantity in the latter country. The age categories were revealed to be in a plain distribution for the European country, which is relatively distinguished from the allocation of Asia. However, in general, both areas hold an equal population of two genders in different age spans.
When refers to older people in France, women take an essential part of the proportion as 2% for people over 85 and the proportion even attains a peak to nearly 2.5% for 70-75 age group, but at the meantime, the same ratio of India remains unchanged and fluctuates between 1% and 2%. Since the age structure is similar to a triangle, Indian newborn babies seem to take a crucial part of the whole population as it accounts for nearly 15%.
