Very attractive and will help in aiding understanding. I would suggest greater use of colour, having babes as red and over 100’s as violet?
Keep it up!
You may be dangerously innovative and your name has been passed to the change police …..
Oh and a special thanks for not having those mindless scurity precautions to stop people from posting.
You trust people too much!

Very useful – I will pass it on to my Population Geography students.
Have you come across the presentations of Hans Rosling on the Ted website http://www.ted.com/talks/hans_rosling_reveals_new_insights_on_poverty.html
also on his own Gapminder website?
Thanks all and yes indeed have seen Rosling’s stuff: he gave a great impetus to this sort of visualisation.
Aidan,
Nice graphs
One thing to bring out is the rather extraordinary bulge that has re-emerged in the 0-4 population since 2005. Is any other country in Europe under going a baby boom in the middle of a Great Recession?
An interesting dialogue is value comment. I believe that you should write more on this matter, it won’t be a taboo subject however typically people are not sufficient to speak on such topics. To the next. Cheers
