Amazing what you can learn and infer just from viewing a country's population pyramid.For example, what do you make of this one?
By the way, next time you see your fellow freshmen Grace Hollin and Arthur Zhang, congratulate them on participating in their very first high school speech tournament! Also, high fives to Drew Forthman for winning First Place in Declamation, and to Nicole Kanaras & Hayes Stancliff for taking Third Place in Team Debate! Woo-hoo!
Update: the reason for Qatar's oddly shaped population pyramid is because they are an oil-producing country, and a lot of the jobs in oil fields, refineries, shipping, and construction are filled by men, not women. Women - especially from the West - are not likely to want to relocate to an area where they are not treated as well as men, which is true of many countries under Islamic rule. Interesting fact: only 13% of Qatar's population are Qatari nationals.
