Jelly Baby Population Game

All populations have a structure.This is usually represented on a

diagram called a population pyramid…

The structure is made up of a particular combination of

cohorts.

A cohort is an age group, or a particular

section of the population.

Cohorts include:YOUNG PEOPLE… (also called young

dependents)

Middle Aged People – ‘the workers’…

…and Old People..(or elderly dependents)

although increasingly people are having to work for a lot

longer - as will you have to….

Of course populations change for various reasons…

People are born…

People die….

People move in…

People move out…

…and we all get older every day…

How will the population of ‘your’ country change in response to a series of

‘chance’ events ??

Let’s play the game…
