Zambia is still a developing country because of the high ratio of infants to elderly
people. Japan is a highly developed country because of its disproportionately elderly population.
Zambias small population, suggested by the use of numbers as opposed to percentages,
supports its low level of development.

1. Chinas population is on the decline as a result of the 1 child policy and will most likely have a
massive population of elderly people that wont be able to be taken care of by the younger
generation.
2. Chinas population will decrease because the 1 child policy wont allow families to replace the
existing generation, and it will most likely cause a surplus of jobs.

India's population pyramid stays largely the same, growing larger as the population increases,
indicating a lack of change in culture. India will suffer from the same problems it is currently
suffering from unless they can get better education, water supply, and food sources in order to
support the massive population India will one day hold. Women do not seem to be outwardly
discriminated against because the population of young women to young men is the same,
indicating that while Indian men like having sons, and it taxes a woman's body, there is no
indication that there is true favoritism towards a son.
