The presented bar chart compares three different nations(Canada, Germany, and the UK) in terms of their populations whose ages are 65 or higher across three years: 1980,2000, and the prediction for 2030, measured by percentages.Overall, populations’ ages 65+saw an upward trajectory in all given countries, with the highest percentages in Germany throughout the period. Although the figure for Canada was the lowest in the initial year, it is expected to outnumber the UK but still be below the German figure.
Focusing on Germany, this country’s population aged 65 and above was by far the highest in all years. It started the period at 15%: however, aftertwo decades, there was a five-percentage-point upward trend. By 2030, it is expected that a quarter of the population will be categorized as elderly people.
The UK’s figure was almost similar for the first two given years, around 14% and 15%, respectively. In 2030, this country is predicted to have the lowest figure in terms of aged population among studied countries at nearly a fifth.
In contrast, Canada, however, the ratio of people whose aged 65+ was less pronounced in 1980 at around one-tenth. This number, then, rose to 5% in 2000 before reaching approximately a quarter in 2030.
