The pie charts provide a comparison of age distribution in Yemen and Italy in the year 2000, along with projections for 2050.
Italy exhibited an older population in 2000, a trend expected to persist in 2050. Over the fifty-year span, both nations are foreseen to undergo an aging demographic shift.
In 2000, Yemen’s population leaned towards youth, with over 50% aged 14 or under. In contrast, Italy had a mature population, with 61.6% falling into the 15 to 59 age group and 24.1% aged 60 or over. Notably, only 14.3% of Italy’s population comprised children under 15, whereas in Yemen, elderly individuals (aged 60 or above) constituted a mere 3.6%.
Projections for 2050 suggest a decline in the proportion of children under 15 in both countries, notably dropping by 13.1% in Yemen. Conversely, the elderly population is anticipated to rise by 2.1% in Yemen and a substantial 18.2% in Italy. Additionally, the 15 to 59 age group is expected to grow by around 10% in Yemen but contract by approximately 15% in Italy.
