The presented bar chart compares data about the percentage of people who had various ages and lived in Iceland in 1990 and 2002.
What is most striking when looking at the data is that the vast majority of Iceland’s population was under 54 years old. Notwithstanding, the share of 0-24 age group saw a decline by varying degrees.It is also important to note that people aged 55-64 gradually increased over the four years surveyed.Meanwhile,there was a little change in the percentage of people aged 55 and over.
Looking first at 25-64 group which consistently formed the largest demographic in the whole chart.Starting at just north of 30%,this group expanded to encompass nearly half of the population in 2020.This increase came at the expense of significant falls in younger cohorts (SS).Children and adolescents under 14 years old recorded a slightly fall from above 25% in the first year to end up with under 20% in 2020 despite it remained the second largest segment in population in the whole chart.In contrast , the 15-24 age group ended up with the smallest cohort in 2020,dropping by almost two-third from approximately 25% to 8% which was the largest fall observed throughout the surveyed pert
Turning to the older group, 55-64 years old remained a consistent figure over the period, steadily at around 10% , it became the second smallest population in four years examined.Initially,55 to 64 years old outranked those from aged 65 and over,at 14% compared to 13%,respectively.However,afterward,this order reversed from 2000 to 2020,the latter was almost unchanged ,albeit with a brief increase to 15% in 2010
