AveGali [126]

Answer:

The information provided allows us to analyze France´s gender ratio (proportion of males and females), which is a key indicator of social development.

Explanation:

The population pyramid shows a bigger amount of males in lower age groups, and more women in the older age groups. This is usually because women tend to live longer than men, meaning that the sex ratio tends to decrease from male-biased to female-biased as long as women get the same nutritional and health care as men, which is what happens in developed countries. Meaning that France can be considered a developed country.
