The table illustrates how the demographic of individuals aged 60 and over across six different areas varied over the period of thirty years, starting from 2000.
Overall, it is readily apparent that all given regions showed an upward trend ,and their predictions do so as well. Furthermore, the percentage of people belonging to 60 and over ages has taken the lead, while Africa represented the lowest cohort throughout the given time.
To begin with, although those aged 60 and over from Europe accounted for the largest proportion at 5%, it is expected to rise considerably to 31% in 2050. Furthermore, Asia and North America followed with 12% and 11% in 2000 ,and they are anticipated to display relatively double growth to 28% and 26% in 2050, respectively. Likewise, Oceania recorded a similar share with North America in 2000, yet it is forecasted to grow at a slower rate to 22% in 2050.
Turning to the remaining regions, 7% of those aged 60 and over in Latin America have indicated an anticipation to climb remarkably from 7% in 2000 to 18% in 2050, followed closely by Africa, increasing from 5% to 12% over the span. Finally, the global demographic of people belonging to the 60 and over age bracket is projected to accelerate drastically from 13% in 2000 to 24% in 2050.
