If the pyramid has a wide base and actually resembles a pyramid, the reproductive population is producing a lot of children, which in time will increase the growth rate in time. If it is column-shaped represents stable growth. However, if the pyramid is inverted it show that reproductive-age residents are not having children which will NOT be good for the population.
