DEMOGRAPHY
	In Chapter 9 there is discussion of the demography of the village over time. In the age-pyramid to the left and the one immediately below you can see what the age structure looked like in the village of Amatango in two periods: 1960-70 and 1980's-90's. The data for the age-pyramid to the left is drawn from national census data, while the information for the next one is based on house-to-house surveys done by the local nurse who grew up in Amatango.

	As can be seen in the age pyramid on the left, in Amatango the age structure of the community in the 1990s still depicted a  young population with relatively few elderly. However, you can note that children are becoming less of a major component of the overall population.Click image to enlarge
