The four pie charts compare the proportion of populations in Yemen and Italy according to three different age groups in 2000, with a forecast of the data for the year 2050.
Both countries show a trend towards an older population by 2050, with Italy having a significantly higher percentage of elderly citizens in both years. Yemen is predicted to experience a notable increase in the 15-59 age group by 2050.
In 2000, approximately half of the Yemeni population was under 14, compared to just 14% of Italians in the same age bracket. In Yemen, only 3.6% of the population was above the age of 60, compared to roughly one-quarter of the Italian population. The 15-59-year-old age group was the largest in Italy, accounting for little more than 60%, while Yemen had 46.3% of its population in this category.
By the year 2050, it is anticipated that the number for the 60+ group in Italy would grow around 42% of the entire population, while the comparable proportion in Yemen will only rise significantly, reaching 5.7%. Meanwhile, the 15-59 age group in Italy is expected to decline from three-fifths to just over two-fifths, contrasted to a nearly 11% increase to 46.2% in Yemen. Furthermore, the percentage of Italians under 14 would slightly decrease to 11.5%, whereas in Yemen, it is expected to drop significantly by almost a third to 37%.
