A bulge in population pyramid indicates :
Answer: A
A bulge in a population pyramid indicates unusually high fertility or mortality or changes in population due to effects of migration.
A bulge means one age group is larger than those around it. That happens when a cohort was born during a period of unusually high fertility, such as a post-war baby boom, when the cohorts around it were thinned by unusually high mortality, or when migration has added people of particular ages, as when young working-age migrants concentrate in a city.
War and famine make notches or indentations, not bulges. Rapid ageing shows as a narrowing base and a widening top, and women joining the workforce does not change the age structure.
