• analysis of an Age/Sex diagram from London, with explanations of the shape of the diagram studying the young dependents, elderly dependents and economically active parts of the diagrams and the trends that are evident.
• comparison of Age/Sex diagrams from countries that are at different stages of the Demographic Transition Model
