Abstract

The population pyramid is a simple graphical representation that displays the gender and age composition of a population. It is a significant indicator that offers first information about the demographic makeup of the population about age and gender. While the pyramid symbolizes a static condition, the population experiences continuous fluctuations as its composition shifts across different age and gender categories. The objective of this study is to provide a clear understanding of the population pyramid in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, including its geographical distribution. Additionally, the study aims to identify the spatial and temporal variations of the three age groups in the region and analyse the key demographic indicators of the population pyramid in the study area. The reliability of its projections in formulating community development plans and anticipating future needs. The study aims to achieve its objectives by examining the population pyramid in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq and analysing its geographical distribution based on five-year age categories in the first section. The second section focuses on investigating the spatial and temporal variations of three specific age groups within the study area. The third component of the study examined and analysed the indicators of the demographic pyramid in the region, specifically the dependence ratio, median age, and old age. In conclusion, the study revealed that the population in the region is currently in a phase of youth, with the percentage of individuals under the age of 15 being 35.7% in 2009 and projected to be 36% in 2030. The middle-aged category, defined as individuals between the ages of 15 and 64, accounted for 60.3% and 60.2% of the population for the same years. In 2009, the aged category accounted for 4% of the population, and it is projected to decline to 3.8% by 2030.
