The provided graph illustrates the distribution of China’s population across different age groups, spanning from 1960 to a projected year in 2050.
Overall, it is evident that the proportion of adults in China’s population is anticipated to increase significantly by 2050, while a decline is expected in the percentage of children and a gradual rise in the elderly population.
The data reveals a notable surge in the population percentage of the 15-64 age group, reaching approximately 70% by 2010. In contrast, the 0-14 age group exhibited a decline from about 40% to around 15% during the same period. Additionally, the elderly population aged 65 and above displayed a steady growth from under 5% to nearly 30% by the year 2050.
It is forecasted that by 2050, the elderly population in China is predicted to make up approximately 25% of the total population. Conversely, a decline in the population percentage of children to around 17% and adults to approximately 53% is expected during the same year.
