This first population pyramid is one of the country of Germany. Germany is an LDC and is therefore not growing very much. One interesting point about this pyramid is the fact that there are alot less men then women in the 70-85 range. While this might seem strange at first, a little knowledge of history reminds us that many German men were killed in World War II. Also when looking at this pyramid you will notice that there is a large percentage of the population from 30 to 50. Some of the reason for this is because of immigrants from the Arab and African world that has come for economic oppurtunity. Because of all these factors the population pyramid of Germany is much different then the next one which is of Botswana.
This pyramid of Botswana shows that it has not developed much at all so far. Like traditional pyramids of LDC's it is in true pyramid form. The reason for this is because the family size is much bigger in a country like this then a developed one. Also since medical treatment is not as readily available the life expectancy is not as high as in more developed countries.
