The table provides information on the proportion of the population aged 65 years and over in 3 countries (Canada, Germany, and the UK) in 1988, 2000, and an estimated percentage for 2030.
Overall, the population of elderly people is predicted to rise in all three countries over the period given. The highest percentage of older people was in Germany, which is predicted to remain in the leading position, while the lowest proportion can be seen in the UK.
Between 1988 and 2000, the aging population of Canada and Germany went up by around 5% to 20.67% and 25.32%, respectively. The UK, on the other hand, showed relatively little change in the proportion of its population aged 65 and over, which remained just under 15% in both years.
By 2030, it is expected that the population of people aged 65 and above will increase by approximately 5.5% in all three countries. The percentage is predicted to reach 30.42% in Germany, 26.35% in Canada, and 20.35% in the UK.
