The line graph presents data on the population of german citizens across three age groups over the age of 65 (over 65, 65-79, over 80) in a thirty-year period, from 2020 with predictions for 2050. The figures are expressed in millions. Overall, there is a notable contrast between the three age ranges. The people over 65 is projected to be the most substantial over the decades while citizens over 80 accounted for the least amongst the given figures.
In 2020, the proportions of german citizens older than 65 stood at approximately 17 million and is forecasted to increase steadiy to around 24 million in 2035 and experience a slight decrease to 23 million by 2050. Similarly, the number of germans aged 65-79 is expected to have a slight rise from around 13 to roughly 16 million by 2035. However, the figure is likely to drop to 14 million by 2050, 11 million fewer than civilians above 65.
Furthermore, people older than the age of 80 originally stood at about 6 million. This number is expected to go through a consistent growth with 8 million and 10 million people by 2035 and 2050 resectively.
