The line graph illustrates projected population figures for people aged 65 and above in Germany between 2020 and 2050, measured in millions.
Overall, over the given period, the figures for the 65+ and 80+ age groups are predicted to experience an upward trend, while the number for people aged from 65 to 79 is expected to remain almost the same with a minimal change.
According to the graph, at the beginning, the figure of citizens aged over 65 stood at about 18 million, while figure for those aged 80 and over was around 6 million. In 2035, the figure for 65+ is expected to reach its peak at approximately 24 million, while the projection for population aged 80 and above will also rise steadily to 7 million. After that, the proportion of 80+ will continue to increase dramatically and will finish the period at 10 million. In contrast, the quantity of population over 65 will decline slightly after 2035 and will end at 23 million.
Regarding citizens aged 65-79, it accounted for 14 million in 2020, before it will climb considerably to around 16 million in the middle of the period. Afterwards, the figure will drop sharply to almost its initial level at the beginning of the period.
