The piece charts display the percentages of Yemen and Italy’s population on three age groups consisted of 0-14, 15-59, and 60+ years in 2000 and predictions for 2050.

In 2000, a half of Yemen inhabited by under 14 years residents followed by 15-59 years with 46.3% and above 59 years with only 3.6%. In contrast, the highest figure of Italy’s population was the middle age group (15-59 years old) at 61.6%, while the younger and older age groups have a marginal difference approximately 9.8%. Moving on to 2050 where Yemens aged under 14 expects to reduce notably 13.1% to 37.0%, however, the 15-59 and 60+ years population will grow to 57.3% and 5.7% respectively. On the other hand, Italy’s elder residents will increase doubles to 42.3% and the other two age groups will decrease lower than the 2000 figure.

Overall, Yemen is projected to have more productive generation and elder population whereas Italy will have more elderly people in 2050.
