The pie charts depict proportion of european population which is classified into three age groups. These charts also compare changes occurred in total population between 1901 and 1981, and present expected variation which would happen in 2025.
Overall, it can be seen that Europe’s population is increasing at an increasing rate. Most of the population consisted of the people under the age bracket of 65 years, while nominal share of percentage was of senior citizens. Further, it is expected that this trend would be reversed in 2025.
It is clear that Europe population was 38.22 million in 1901, out which 95% were falling in the age group of 0-65 years and only 1% belonged to 85 years and above. This pattern continued in 1941, where total number of Europeans increased to 52.33 million. However, in 1981 a unique trend emerged, although there were 67.180 million Europeans, but 13% were falling between the age brackets of 65-85 years, and 83% were from 0-65 years.
On the other hand, it is expected that the portion of people under 65 years will fall to 79% in 2025, whereas percentage of the elderly people will increased to 6% in the total population.
