Where the two pyramids differ

The pyramids are overlaid so you can read the difference by age and sex: the longer bar in each band marks the country with more people of that age.

📊 Understanding the Population Difference Chart

This visualization shows where and by how much the populations differ between India and Indonesia for each age group, split by gender:

Left Side (Males)

Blue = India has more males

Green = Indonesia has more males

Right Side (Females)

Pink = India has more females

Orange = Indonesia has more females

💡 How to Read: Each age group shows up to 2 bars - one on the left (male difference) and one on the right (female difference). The bar's color tells you which country has more people, and the bar's length shows by how much. For example, if you see a green bar on the left, it means Indonesia has more males in that age group.
