The four pie charts illustrate the age distribution of the populations in Yemen and Italy in the year 2000 and prediction for 2050.
Overall, Italy had the older populations than Yemen in 2000, and both populations are predicted to age in the future.
In 2000, in Yemen, over half the population was aged 0-14, and 46.3% of the population was aged from 15 to 59. The smallest proportion was the over 60s, who accounted for just 3.6% of the population. Turning to Italians, the highest percentage was 15-59 year olds. Those over 60 were 24.1% of the population, which was more than six times higher than it was in Yemen. The smallest percentage was for the youngest group at 14.35%.
Turning to the forecast for 2050, in Yemen, the largest group is expected to be those aged 15-59 at 57.3%. This is followed by forecasts for the youngest group at 37%, and the oldest group at 5.8%. For Italians, the highest percentage is for those aged 15-59 years at 46.2%. This is followed by the over 60s at 42.3%, which is almost double the level in 2000. The youngest group accounts for only 11.5% of the population.
