ANALYSIS OF A POPULATION PYRAMID




A population pyramid is a traditional way of visualizing and explaining the age structure of a society. It is a graph that shows the structure of a society by sex and age at a given time and place.

The sex structure of this pyramid is very simple. At the base of it we can observe that there are more boys (34 percent of the total men in the pyramid were borned from 1999 onwards) between 0 and 19 years than girls (32.2 percent of the total women in the pyramid were borned from 1999 onwards). But later, in the period of 40-44 ther pyramid equilibrates and both sexes have the same percent, probably because men are less healthy and smoke more. At the top of the pyramid there are more women than men, this is not strange because it is proved that men die earlier than women because they do more forced works and are less healthier. 

The age structure of this country is shown by a pyramid with a mix between a triangular-shaped one and a bell-shaped one. This means the country is in developing ways and is economically growing (DC). Then referring to the notches and bumbs in this pyramid.
 Down in the base of the pyramid the notch of the 0-9 years group (2009-2018) is probably made by a natural disaster, because it´s a country in developing ways so an epidemic is not a very probable problem and it has a not so bad sanity sistem. Another probable disaster could be a mass migration because of a war or poberty. There is also a bumb that highlights in the group of years 25-34. This is probably caused by a baby boom, but this baby boom probably is not after a war because if it was caused by a war there would have to be a notch before that group of years around 1978-1974. That notch doesn´t exist so we can deduce that baby boom was caused by an economic prosperity. That bumb could also be made by immigration but I´m not likely to think that because people don´t migrate to countries in developing ways in that massive amount of people.

In conclusion, this country is situated in  the second part of stage 2, it has a high birth rate and a high life expectancy but the death rate won´t go lower. The next phase of this pyramid will be a bulb-shaped pyramid, the country will start having problems with an ageing population and decreasing birth rate. The government will have to start creating laws or making taxes for babies lower.

Migration routes to North America




The most common migration routes are:
 -Eastern Mediterranean route
 -Mediterranean Sea route
-Central American route
-Southeast Asian route

I´ve chosen the Central American route because it´s the one which impacted me the most. I want to go deeper in this trip of horror and suffering.

GERMANY MIGRATIONS






 I´m gonna comment the spain graphics.
People go out of Spain mainly to other European countries looking for a job because of the big crisis that Spain faced in 2012. This crisis made a big gao between ricg and poor people and Spain lost a lot of jobs. There are other immigrants of Spain that also go to South American countries also looking for job by the same reason. There is an important factor that makes spanish immigrants to go to other contries called the attracting facto. We can explain this in a simple way, some members of the family go to another country, they prosper and call other members of their family that go with they to that country.

People who come to Spain mainly from South America and Africa come because of the violence and poverty. From Africa a lot of immigrants go out of their countries (usually Syria and countries in war conflicts). People from South America come to Spain looking for a good job better than in their country. People from the rest of Europe are usually jubilated people that come to Spain looking for sun and a place to relax.
