Answer 1

Answer: The population pyramid for Japan can be labeled as negative /regressive because it is narrower at the base than in the middle, which illustrates that the population consists disproportionately of middle-aged and older people.

Explanation:

Japan is among the countries with more population in the world, within the world ranking. Its vegetative balance is negative, since currently in Japan there are more deaths than births every year, which means that the population is contracting and is undergoing a process of gradual aging.

Japan has a very low birth rate. The Japanese, who live on average 84.1 years, have a very high life expectancy compared to that of the rest of the citizens of the world.

Japan has a regressive pyramid, with a narrower base than the central zone and a significant percentage of older people. It is a typical pyramid of developed countries, with low birth and death rates and very low natural growth. It is therefore an aging society and with a tendency to be more.
