The pie chart illustrates the three distinct age groups of the two nations, Yemen and Italy, in the year 2000 and the estimate for 2050.
Overall, people in Yemen were reported and predicted to be younger than those in Italy during the 5-decade period. Citizens in both countries are predicted to be older in 50 years.
In 2000, children aged 14 and below in Yemen came first with over half of the population, much greater when compared with the elderly, who only accounted for 3.6%. This comparison, however, is not the same in the country of Italy, where people over 60 years old took up nearly a quarter of the total population, while dwellers under 14 only comprised 14.3%. The group of people aged 15 to 50 was the most prevalent in Italy, representing 61.6%, while this number in Yemen was 45.3%.
In the year 2050, the proportion of inhabitants between the ages of 15 and 50 in Yemen is suggested to increase by 12%, and that of the elderly is estimated to go up by a small amount of 2.1%, leaving the youngest group at over a third of the population. While in Italy, the figure of old people will grow to 42.3%, the percentage of the middle group is forecast to drop to 46.2%, and the remaining category is predicted to drop by 2.8%.
