The bar chart compares three different countries (Canada, Germany, and the UK) in terms of their population whose age is 65 or higher across three years: 1980,2000, and the prediction for 2030, measured by percentages.
Overall, people’ age above 65 increased in all countries, with the highest percentages in Germany. 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.
In terms of Germany, this country’s population aged 65 and above was by far the highest in all years. It started the period with 15%: however after 20 years, there was a 5 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 be the lowest figure in terms of aged country among studied countries at nearly a fifth.
In Canada, however, the number of people aged 65 was less pronounced in 1980 at around 10%. This number, then, rose to 5% in 2000 before reaching approximately 24% in the predicted year.
