The bar graph illustrates the percentages of population who are aged 65 or over in three different nations— Canada, Germany and the UK — over a period of 20 years, commencing from 1980, and estimated some percentages in 2030.
Overall, It is evident that the percentages of people aged 65 and over were recorded in Germany from 1980 onwards, whereas the opposite was true for Canada and the UK. Canada had the lowest proportion in 1980, and the UK is projected to remain lower than the other countries until 2030. Notably, the levels in Canada and the UK have remained relatively similar throughout the period.
To begin with, while the percentages of seniors in Germany were more than others, which had dominance, with 5% higher (at 15% in1980) and ( at 20% in 2000), respectively. Canada was the smallest percentages, at 10%, in 1980 compared to others. Having said that, this trend sharply changed that increased to 15% and equalled to the UK in 2000. In contrast, whereas the UK higher than Canada in 1980, the percentages of older individuals in Canada will grow to 22%, with 3% a dominance from the UK, by 2030. Although there were a lot of fluctuations in three countries, Germany did not lose their dominance. Inversely, this climb it between 3% and 5% compared to others.
