    CIVICS

     There are three distinct activities in every government through which the will of the people are expressed. These
    are the legislative, executive and judicial functions of the government. Corresponding to these three activities
    are three organs of the government, namely the legislature, the executive and the judiciary.

    Legislature
    It forms laws and procedures, along with examining the administration and its resolutions. The
    chief function of the legislature is to enact laws.

     It is the basis for the functioning of the other two organs, the executive and the judiciary.
     It is also sometimes accorded the first place among the three organs because until and
    unless laws are enacted, there can be no implementation and application of laws.

    Executive
    It comprised of the President or Governor, Council of Minister at Union or State level, along with
    the administration which executes and enforces laws made by the legislature. The executive is
    the organ that implements the laws enacted by the legislature and enforces the will of the state.

     It is the administrative head of the government.


     Ministers including the Prime/Chief Ministers and President/Governors form part of the
    executive.

    Judiciary
    The Supreme Court (SC) at the top level to the community courts at the bottom. They interpret
    the laws made. The judiciary is that branch of the government that interprets the law, settles
    disputes and administers justice to all citizens.

     The judiciary is considered the watchdog of democracy, and also the guardian of the
    Constitution.
     It comprises the Supreme Court, the High Courts, District and other subordinate courts
    GEOGRAPHY

    Population Composition
    The population composition of a country tells about age profile, sex, literacy level,
    health condition, occupation and income level. Thus, the structure of the population is
    called population composition.

    Population Pyramid: A population pyramid is a graphical representation of population


    composition. In a population pyramid, the total population is divided into various age
    groups, e.g. 5 to 9 years, 10 to 14 years, etc. For each age group, the percentage of the
    total population is subdivided into males and females.

    The relative number of children (below 15 years) and that of the elderly (above 65
    years) shows the relative number of dependents in the population. The relative number
    of people in the working age (between 15 and 65 years) shows the relative number of
    productive people.

    Population Pyramid of Kenya

    The population pyramid of Kenya is very wide at the bottom and very narrow at the
    top. This means that while the birth rate is very high, so is the death rate. A larger
    proportion of people below 15 years of age show that the relative number of
    dependents is very high in Kenya.

    Population Pyramid of India

    The population pyramid of India shows a wider base but the middle portion of the
    pyramid is in healthy shape. The top is narrow. This shows that there is sizeable
    proportion of people in economically productive age group. This is a good sign for the
    economy of India as the number of dependents is not too much.

    Population Pyramid of Japan


    The population pyramid of Japan shows a wider middle and narrower base and top.
    This indicates towards a low birth rate and death rate. The relative size of dependent
    population is less compared to the relative size of population in the economically
    productive age group. While this is ideal for the present, it does not hold good omen
    for the future. In future, there would be more elderly and less people in the working
    age group.
