Answer 2

The correct answer is C) The population will have many more women than men.

Based on this population pyramid, the statement that best characterizes Australia's projected population for the year 2050 is "The population will have many more women than men."

When we use a population pyramid or the age-gender pyramid, we are trying to project a scenario about the number of people that are supposed to live in the future. This is the case of the Australian population pyramid of 2050.

Australian sociologists and researchers consider that taking into consideration the growing ratio in the country, by 2050 they are expecting to grow from 23 million to 37 million. The two biggest cities, Sydney and Melbourne are expected to reach 8 million each.
