Spanish term or phrase: estructura poblacional en ojiva
From the previous context, I know that this means that the population aging. I don't understand "en ojiva" in this context. Is there a technical term that should be used?

En resumen, de mantenerse las actuales características demográficas y sanitarias, Paraguay tiende a tener una **** derivada de la mayor esperanza de vida al nacer, menor fecundidad, menor mortalidad y carácter expulsor de población con un saldo migratorio negativo.

Explanation:
Ogive is a standard term in Statistics normally referring to the
cumulative distribution function (CDF).

In other contexts, it represents the roundly tapered end of a two-dimensional; diagonal rib of a Gothic vault, a pointed arc, or the curved area making up the nose of a projectile.

It's a bit odd in the context of a population pyramid.

What's the full context?
