A country with a high rate of population growth took measures to reduce it. The figure below shows age-sex pyramids of populations $A$ and $B$ twenty years apart. Select the correct interpretation about them :-
"A" is the earlier pyramid and no change has occurred in the growth rate
" $\mathrm{A}$ " is more recent shows slight reduction in the growth rate
"B" is earlier pyramid and shows stabilized growth rate
" $\mathrm{B}$ " is more recent showing that population is very young
Solution
The Diagram A shows reduction in the number of males and females of the population. As you can see the 0-9 bar shows a total of 15 individuals in the digram B and the 0-9 bar in diagram A shows only 12 individuals. So Figure A shows slight reduction in the growth rate.
