- The historical trend that I see over the years from 1950-1990 is that the generations stay the same from birth all the way up the graph, with gaps in the generation until the next big generation comes.
- I hypothesize that that the reason that the pyramid shapes from 1950-1990 where the age sectors stay the same all the way up the chart is because the country is very healthy with a high life expectancy of 80-87, a developing culture and that it can afford to send help to other countries in need. Japan, in the early 1900's, got into a lot of wars but has now renounced their ways and has no recent wars to date. It focused mainly on advancing economically, such as the Olympic Games held in Beijing or the peace treaty with the US and other countries in 1951. It also opened up it's first Honda plant in the US in 1982. Aside from the numerous natural disasters, Japan is a very well off. Japan is in stage four of the Demographic Transition model, because birth/death rates are extremely low and the birth rates are below replacement rate because of the "One Child per. Family Law." They are also in the fourth stage because their population is very high, and slowly declining in to Stage five, where the population is projected to stop.
