The pie charts illustrate the distribution of age groups in Yemen and Italy for the years 2000 and 2050.
Overall, the data reveals a notable contrast between the two countries. In both 2000 and the projected figures for 2050, individuals aged between 15 and 59 constitute the largest segment of the population, except for Yemen in 2000, where children represented the predominant group.
In 2000, Yemen’s demographic profile was markedly youthful, with approximately half of the population falling into the 0-14 age bracket and over 40% in the 15-59 age range. This indicates a young population structure. Conversely, Italy’s population in 2000 was significantly older, with seniors constituting 24.1% of the population and individuals aged 0-14 making up less than 20%.
Looking ahead to 2050, substantial demographic shifts are projected. Italy is expected to experience a considerable increase in the proportion of elderly individuals, with seniors rising sharply from 24.1% to 42.3%. In contrast, Yemen is anticipated to see a significant decrease in the proportion of young people, from 50.1% to 37.0%, while the percentage of middle-aged citizens will correspondingly rise.
