Population profiles are graphs that break down the population of a country into different segments and then show how much that segment of the population affects society. Typically the two variables are age and gender, but it other can be education, sexual orientation, race, etc. When viewing a population profile one can see what possible account for the large gaps ans so forth such as Aids impacting a large segment of African societies resulting in a large bloc of young adults and children. The population profile above depicts the age distribution of the nation of Gambia. Overall it is 50/50 but the are slightly more females who live to old age while more male babies.
