The table provided explains the information and predictions regarding the change in the percentage of population falling in the age category of 65 and above,in three countries for the years 1988, 2000, and 2030.
From the three countries, Canada and Germany saw a constant rise in the said population, whereas the UK saw a varied rise.
In the year 1988, Germany had the highest proportion of individuals who were aged 65 years and above, measuring at 20.45%. Canada ranked close at second with 16.32% and the UK stood third with 14.23%.
As for the year 2000, a considerable rise in the said population can be seen for Canada and Germany with each standing at 20.67% and 25.32% respectively. However, the population of individuals of 65 and above in the UK saw a negligible rise of 0.66% to 14.89%.
Lastly, on one hand, the predictions for the year 2030 followed the trend of data from the years 1988 and 2000 for Canada and Germany, with each rising by a similar margin as the previous recorded years. On the other hand, the prediction for the UK does not follow the trend of the recorded years and instead predicts a sharp rise in the percentage of population aged 65 and above, from 14.89% to 20.35%
