National Bureau of Statistics informs that a new application - Animated Population Pyramid has been launched on the website.

A population pyramid is a graphical illustration of the age and sex structure of the population of the Republic of Moldova beginning with 1980 till present.

Animated visualization of data by using this application allows to observe the changes in the demographic portrait of the population, influenced by annual fluctuations in births and deaths, migration, other exceptional events, as well as indirect causes, such as changes in people’s lifestyle (i.e. in the field of fertility or life expectancy).

The pyramid was developed by the United Kingdom’s Office for National Statistics and offered to National Bureau of Statistics of the Republic of Moldova.

The pyramid can be accessed from the main page and under the heading Statistical data / Population.

Technical specifications: You must have the browser plugin Flash installed in order to view the population pyramid.

Note: Beginning with 1998 data are presented without the population on districts from the left bank of the river Nistru and municipality Bender.
