The pie charts compare the age distribution of the populations in Oman and Spain for the years 2005 and projections for 2055. The three age groups include 0-14 years, 15-59 years, and 60+ years.
In 2005, Oman had a balanced population distribution between the youngest (0-14 years) and middle-aged (15-59 years) groups, with both accounting for 48% of the total population. The elderly group (60+ years) represented only 4%. By 2055, the proportion of middle-aged individuals is expected to rise significantly to 57%, while the youngest group will decline to 37%. The elderly will see a slight increase, making up 6% of the population.
In contrast, Spain’s population in 2005 was predominantly elderly (60+ years), at 62%, followed by middle-aged individuals (24%) and children (14%). However, projections for 2055 suggest a decline in the elderly population to 46%, while the middle-aged group will increase to 42%. The proportion of children will experience a minor reduction, accounting for 12%.
Overall, Oman is anticipated to have a younger population compared to Spain in both years, with a notable shift towards an older demographic in Spain over the 50-year period.
