The data provides the percentage of senior citizens aged 65 or older of three west countries in 1980 and after 20 years. Also, there is a forecast for 2030.
Overall, indicators of all countries rose steadily in 2000. The same tendency is expected to continue in 30 years. The UK had and would have the smallest increase, comparing to Canada and Germany.
Canada’s proportion escalated gradually from 10% to 15% in 2000. That made it equal with the UK’s one, which increased only by approximately 2%. Germany’s percentage exceeded others, climbing to 20%. None of these countries have faced any decline.
In terms of future prediction, Canada’s proportion would eventually surpass the UK’s percentage of senior citizens. Canada would have the most significant growth, in contrast with two other countries, rising by over 5%. Germany would still lead, because of maintaining 25%. The UK’s indicator would increase merely by 5%.
