10. Figure 2 presents population pyramids, showing the distribution of age groups in the population of Canada, in the Atlantic region, and in each of the four provinces separately. The youngest groups are at the bottom, oldest at the top. Each bar represents a five year age group.The 1956 pyramids, wide at the base, depict the arrival of the baby boom generation. As this group becomes older, moving up the pyramid in later years, their significance relative to other age groups in the population is clearly evident in pyramids with bulging mid-sections. Meanwhile, the bottom of the pyramid is shrinking as the fertility rate drops and fewer children are born.
