I made this using d3.js and CleanShot X for creating a GIF. It’s a capture of my site [https://www.populationpyramid.net/](https://www.populationpyramid.net/) where you can find an interactive version of this visualization, that allows also to change the year.
The data source is: United Nations, Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Population Division. World Population Prospects: The 2024 Revision. (Medium variant)
I always see this types of graphs, what would a “healthy” distribution look like?
With a view exceptions you always have this pyramid in less developed nations, and this more candle looking thing in more developed nations.
Sometimes the candle with a belly in the middle for those nations that are extra fucked.
And then you have Russia.
Non of the benefits of a developed nations and all the fucked up shit of the craziest demographics.
Pakistan, Nigeria and Ethiopia are the world’s future with their young populations
The holes on the blue side in Russia is so jarring. The 70+ year old men who are ‘missing’, that’s not just WWII, what other reason could there be? I’m not super up to date on what went on there in the fifties.
