The charts below compare the age structure of the population of France and India in 1984.

The two charts provide a comparative analysis of age distribution by gender for the populations of France and India in the year 1984. 

Overall, India had a younger population compared to France during this period. Conversely, France exhibited a notably higher percentage of elderly individuals.

In India, nearly 14% of the population belonged to the age group of 5 years or younger, with subsequent age brackets demonstrating a declining proportion of the population. In contrast, France displayed a more uniform distribution across age ranges, with consistent figures (around 7% to 8%) for each five-year cohort up to the age of 40. The elderly population (aged 70 and above) constituted approximately 10% to 15% of the total population in France, whereas in India, this figure was only 2%.

Regarding gender distribution, the proportion of women in Frant above the age of 50 was significantly higher than that of men. For instance, almost 3% of French individuals aged 70 to 75 were women, while the corresponding figure for men was just under 2%. Conversely, no significant gender disparities were evident in the age distribution of the Indian population depicted in the charts.
