The line graph illustrates the amount of the New Zealand population between 1950 and 2050. Overall, it is clear that the percentage of over-65 residents is at the top level of the graph, while the percentage of inhabitants below 14 years of age is at the bottom line over the given period.
According to the graph, in 1950, the proportion of elderly people started at 60.00%, and this figure gradually increased to 70.00% by 1990. Then, it slowly decreased to 60.00% in 2000, and it is expected to steadily decline to around 55.00% by 2050. Next, the figure for 38-45-year-old people began at 25.00% in the first given year; after that, the trend rose step by step and reached 50.00% of the population in 1990. However, this figure witnessed a slow decrease to 40.00% and remained stable at the end of the period.
Initially, the percentage of 25-37-year-old citizens was at 20.00%, and it did not rise gradually by 1960. It experienced a dramatic reduction from 20.00% to 0.00% by 2050. The rate of 0-14-year-old youngsters remained at the same level until 1990 at 5.00%. Despite this lack of change, the figure significantly grew to 20.00% at the end of the period.
