The bar chart shows information about the population of Yemen and Italy in 2000 and predictions for 2050 by age groups. Overall, the proportion of children (0–14) in both countries is estimated to go down, while the percentage of elderly people is projected to increase.
It is clear to notice that, in 2000, more than half of the Yemeni population was comprised of children (50.1%). Meanwhile, the middle (15–59) and elderly (60+) age groups consisted of 46.3% and 3.6%, respectively. However, according to projections, the proportions will change dramatically. The percentage of the younger age group will decrease by 13%, and at the same time, the portion of the middle age group will experience a tremendous increase (46.3% to 57.3%). Furthermore, there will be a slight rise in the seniors’ group—from 3.6% to 5.7%—in 2050.
In 2000, a large percentage of the the community in Italy included in the middle-aged group (61.6%). The second major group was seniors (24.3%), followed by juniors (14.3%). But, based on forecasts, the ratio of people by age groups is going to change. The percentage of adults will enormously fall, as will the proportion of retirees will see significant growth. Similar to Yemen, the juniors’ part in the the population of Italy will show a small drop (14.3% to 11.5%).
