DEMOGRAPHY
	In Chapter 9 there is discussion of the demography of the village over time. In the age-pyramid to the left and the one immediately below you can see what the age structure looked like in the village of Amatango in two periods: 1960-70 and 1980's-90's. The data for the age-pyramid to the left is drawn from national census data, while the information for the next one is based on house-to-house surveys done by the local nurse who grew up in Amatango.
