The provided line chart compares the percentage of senior citizens who are older than 65 years in various countries, namely the USA, Sweden, and Japan, over a 101-year period, starting in 1940, and a prediction for 2040.
It is evident that all three countries are projected to witness an upward trend in their elderly population percentages. Additionally, it is particularly notable that the rate of elderly individuals in Japan is expected to exceed that of its counterparts.
In 1940, the aging population rate in the USA was the highest, accounting for nearly 10%, while the figure for Sweden was slightly lower, at around 7%. Japan’s senior population was made up of only 5 percent. In addition, the USA and Sweden began slightly rising in the percentage of the 65-year-old age group, while Japan began gradually decreasing.
In 2040, Japan exceeds the other two countries in predicting 27% of the proportion of elderly citizens. Meanwhile, Sweden and the USA are projected to be 25 and 23, respectively.
