About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the population of Brazil by gender across 18 age groups. It lists the male and female population in each age group along with the gender ratio for Brazil. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population distribution of Brazil by gender and age. For example, using this dataset, we can identify the largest age group for both Men and Women in Brazil. Additionally, it can be used to see how the gender ratio changes from birth to senior most age group and male to female ratio across each age group for Brazil.
