Band 7+: The bar chart shows the percentage of elderly citizens in three countries in 1980, 2000, and 2030. Summaries the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The bar graph illustrates, in Canada, Germany, and the UK, the percent of the population aged 65 or over in the years 1980 and 2000, and a reflection of the future in 2030.

Overall, the figures for people who are 65 years or more increased in the past, and will also increase in the future. The percent of Germans for the same age group is significantly higher compared to people in Canada and the UK, and over the different years.

In 2030, the percent of the population aged 65 or over in Canada will be more than double compared to 1980, but for the UK there will be a gradual increase of less than 5 percent.

The proportion will increase by nearly 5 percent in Germany in 2030, which is similar to the increase that happened between 1980 and 2000. The population over 65 years of age in Canada and the United Kingdom was the same at 15 percent, while it was 5 percent higher in Germany in 2000.
