| Visualization of relative age group sizes |
| This interactive element visualizes for two sets of European countries (EU member states or, alternatively, EU candidate and EFTA states) the relative size of four age groups, i. e. the percentage of these age groups with respect to the total population. The visualization is carried out by means of bar charts. |
