The given table exhibits the proportion of people falling into 65 years old and over in two separate years, 1988 and 2000, in Canada, Germany and the UK with the estimations for 2030.
Overall, percentages of seniors in the 65-and-over age group in all three countries show an upward trend. Meanwhile, Germany is expected to continue to be the country taking the lead in the percentage of the elderly.
In 1988, the proportion of 65-and-over-year-olds in Germany was the highest among three countries, about roughly one-fifth of total population. Just trailing behind was Canada, at 16.32%. While both nations experienced a marginal increase in the elderly percentage by 5% in 2000, the figures for the UK fluctuated at around 14% to 15%.
By 2030, all countries are projected to witness a rise by just a little more than 5%. Specifically, the British, Canadian and German citizens aged 65 and above are predicted to account for 20.35%, 26.35% and 30.42%, respectively.
