Shape 4
Shape 5
Table of Age Structure Shapes to Match
2. Without changing any of the default settings for the country of interest, click the Step button 7 times, which advances the simulation to the year 2050. (Each click of the step button advanced the simulation 5 years).
Write down the predicted population for 2050, as well as age structure shape that most closely matches the simulation.
