The pie charts compare the proportions of different ages in the population of Brazil and Germany in 2000 and the future predictions for 2050.
Overall, in the 2050 projections, the distribution of youths will decline for both countries, while seniors will increase significantly. The population of adults made up the largest proportion in 2000, and will continue to comprise the highest percentage in 2050, despite a drop for 2050 in Germany.
For Brazil, youths consisted of 30% of the population in 2000, but will shrink to 17% by 2050. Similarly, Germany’s youths is predicted to decline from 13% to 12% over half a century. In contrast, the figures for seniors will grow in both Brazil and Germany between 2000 and 2050. The former will climb from 5% to 13%, and the latter will surge from 22% to an overwhelming 40%.
The age distribution of adults in both populations was initially around 65% in both countries in 2000, making it the highest share of the population. The proportion of adults in Brazil is projected to further increase to 70%, whereas for Germany it is predicted to fall to 48% by 2050.
