The table illustrates the percentage of 65+ senior citizens in three countries
( Canada, Germany, UK) in the years 1988, 2000 and a prediction for 2030.
Overall, there are rises in the proportion of people who are 65 and older, in all three countries examined. Notably, the highest percentage of older people can be found in Germany, which is predicted to remain the leading for the given period, while the lowest figure can be seen in the UK.
Between 1988 and 2000, the proportion of elderly people in Germany and Canada experienced a significant increase of around 5%, rising from 20.35% to 25.53% and from 16.45% to 20.65%, respectively. Meanwhile, the figure for the UK showed no major changes, remaining relatively stable at just under 15%, despite a minimal rise.
Looking ahead to 2030, the proportion of the aging population in Germany is expected to continue rising to reach 30,65%. Similarly, there will be a projection to increase by 5% in the figure for Canada and the UK. To be more specific, Canada’s figure is anticipated to grow from 20.67% to 26.35%, while the UK’s is likely to rise from 14.8% to 20,45%, marking its first considerable change throughout the entire period.
