The pie charts compare the proportion of three age groups – youth, adults, and senior – in Brazil and Germany in 2000 and projections for 2050.
Overall, both countries are expected to experience population aging by 2050, with a decline in the percentage of young people and a significant rise in the proportion of seniors. However, this trend will be more pronounced in Germany than in Brazil.
In 2000, Brazil’s population was relatively young, with nearly one-third (about 33%) aged under 15, while adults made up 59% and seniors only 8%. By contrast, Germany had a much older population: just 14% were youth, 65% were adults, and 21% were seniors.
By 2050, the demographic structure of both nations is predicted to shift toward older age groups. In Brazil, the share of young people is expected to drop to 18%, and adults to 57%, while seniors will increase dramatically to 25%. In Germany, the proportion of seniors is projected to rise even higher, reaching 34%, while the youth population will fall to only 10%. The adult group will decline slightly to 56%.
