Population Pyramid

Population pyramids display age-sex distribution with males on one side and females on the other. The shape reveals demographic patterns: expansive (young population), constrictive (aging population), or stationary. They are essential for demographic analysis, healthcare planning, and policy development.

"Create a population pyramid showing the 'Age Distribution' of Japan's population by gender. Generate realistic demographic data for 18 age groups (0-4, 5-9, ..., 80-84, 85+) in millions: younger groups smaller (reflecting low birth rate), bulge at 45-54 (baby boomers), and significant 65+ population. Males on left (blue), Females on right (pink). X-axis shows population in millions (symmetric scale). Y-axis shows age groups. Add a vertical center line. Highlight the 'working age' population (15-64) with a subtle background shade. Include annotations for median age (48.4 years), dependency ratio, and total population. Title: 'Japan Population Pyramid 2023'."
