What are age structures?
An age structure is simply a tool that many researchers use to find patterns in population growths.
What else are age structures used for?
Age structures are also used to help researchers see the trend of how the populations are growing. For example, researchers find an increase in human population and it makes them realize our world needs more schools, jobs, and resources to live off.

An age structure can help us find other information we need. For example researchers have analyzed from age structures that people born during "booms " will have a demand for more schools which means new job openings. So, people born in the boom will grow up and easily get a job because new jobs had developed due to the need of them since there was a great increase in population. But people that were born near the end of the " boom " will have a harder time finding a job because previously many jobs had been taken care of to supply the great population that had started growing rapidly before them.
