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