Worked out very well for the peasants who survived or were born after the Black Plague (their labour became much more valuable).
Plus, that demographic deficit helped kick off the Industrial Revolution.

In fact it improved the pyramid! The black plague disproportionately killed old people. This is going to end up in a top heavy pyramid with a ton of old people relying on fewer and fewer young people. Simply because fewer and fewer are being born every year.
