Bosnia and Herzegovina is preparing for its first post-war census since 1991. The census is the most important data source for human geographers, and the first census in 22 years allows the world to see the impact the war has had on the country’s population. The information from the census ties in with the country’s population pyramid; will it have a graying population, a middle aged population, or a young population? This information will help determine what problems the country might face and how to prevent them.

(Multiply the total population by 100,000 )

Population pyramid

mbin99 — 2013-10-10 02:14:35 UTC

A- Stage 3

B- The shape of the pyramid leads me to believe the country is a part of stage 3 in the demographic transition model, which is moderate growth. In this stage, CBR is declining faster than CDR. The top of the pyramid is narrower than the rest of the model, meaning there are not as many older citizens as there are middle age or young people. However, it seems to be increasing, and as the middle age people age, the elderly population will be greater than the young population. The bottom of the pyramid is narrow as well, which indicates that people are having fewer children. This is can be due to development in the country such as more people choosing an urban lifestyle, or more women working and not being able to take care of too many children.

C- Problems Bosnia and Herzegovina might face are problems associated with a graying population, such as not enough people in the workforce, no way to take care of the old people, and the government not having enough money to give financial aid to the elderly.
