re: Looking at population age pyramids is pretty interesting

To anyone with more than a few brain cells, most of those distributions are strong arguments against socialized medicine, retirement, etc. - Basically any services provided to aging populations at the expense of the young and healthy.
The socialized medicine pyramid scheme in Canada doesn't look promising. Only way socialized medicine will work with great imbalances of age cohorts is if it is so crappy it simply kills off old people to help balance the legers.

I always understood that China had a lot more males than females but with this graphic it doesn’t appear to be a dramatic as I thought. Am I reading it wrong?
3.3% male vs 2.9% female is a pretty fricking big difference in population. There are 34 million more males in China than females, and unless they import a bride in from somewhere else, it’s a near statistical certainty these people will not get married. So what do you do with 34 million men who have no shot at marriage? You put them in the military. This is a really, really big problem not only for China but the US and the rest of the world.

Give them porn, video games, and substances.

That’s not going to do it. Young Chinese males hate nothing more than a Westerner who comes in and snags a chick. With China’s plans and what they are doing right now, the military is the clear place to put them.

Seems to be working "alright" for the West.

It’s working for Japan. Though I wouldn’t say well for them since their population is in decline. A significant number of their young people are becoming shut ins. Many of them are no interest in getting married or having kids.

How is giving them porn, video games, and substances the same as a westerner coming in and taking their women?
Probably not the best solution though since many middle class men already have 2 of the 3.

It doesn't solve demographic/replacement problems, but it does solve the whole "chronically underemployed male with no chance at pussy" problem that can topple governments.

Look up the Demographic Transition Model.

Interesting or terrifying? Considering Western Civilization seems hell bent on tearing its culture, values, and history down. Meanwhile, Eastern Civilization seems hell bent on reproducing and increasing their own power.

A 34 million man army is simply too big and unwieldy to be effective in this day and age, and comes with it's own set of issues vis a vis social and political stability. Some of that surplus population will end up in the military. But I suspect China has its own version of lebensraum in mind. It intends a lot of those surplus males to end up overseas as colonists, both in Asia and a recolonized Africa. We'll see how that works out for them.

~800 million in ~75 years projected in Nigeria

Healthcare system is really bad there still. Their proportion graph looks more like a pyramid.

Looking at this you see why Africa will be the next China for trade development.
Expanding population will offer cheap labor.

1. It should have never been created.
2. It should have been privatized years ago.
3. It’s been used to perpetuate our current economic issues (investing in foreign companies, putting them at an economic advantage over American companies which further hurts the American worker and the value of our dollar).
It’s no coincidence that the majority of our nation’s problems can be traced back to the creation of the Federal Reserve. Every war we were involved in prior to that took place on American soil and directly impacted our nation’s wellbeing/independence. Since then, we haven’t fought a single war on US soil and outside of WW2, there really isn’t a single conflict we should have been involved with. Hell some of them we directly or indirectly caused.

The more interesting fact is that the female percentage is ~0.2% less in all countries and most ages

It will work out very well. They have no concept of "social justice" or any of that bullshite. They will move in, they will take resources, and they will conquer. Knowing that no one will lift a goddamn finger to stop them.
China can roll in to Africa, slaughter the population and seize all their wealth, and Biden and the rest of Europe will bend over backwards to apologize for being white colonialists.
I don't fault China. At all. They look at the completely feckless west, with utter disgust, and move forward with their own plans that puts their nation first.
The international stage of politics is one of self interest. The US, and parts of Europe, are the only ones not playing the game by these rules. And we will pay for being a nation of limp wristed pussies.
