The following bar chart illustrates the percentage of population at the age of 65 and over, among three countries (Canada, Germany and UK) from 1980 to 2000, and prediction in 2030.
Overall, it is witnessed that German have gained the highest quantity of targetted inhabitants out of three, while the Canadian has had the lowest rate during the period. Moreover, all these three countries have increased ratio of 65-year-old people and over within 50 years started in 1980.
In 1980, 10% of Canadian were at the age of 65 and over. This rate then grew up to 15% in the next 20 years, after being predicted to reach roughly 22% in 2030. For German citizens, a quarter of population were 65 years old and over in 1980, then rised to 20% after 20 years and end with 25% based on the predicted data in 2030. In the UK, people have getting older more slowly than the others, as the investigated people accounted for nearly 13%. The proportion then increased and stayed equally to German’s rate in 2000, before being lower (by approximately 18%) in the predicted year (2030).
