The table depicts data and anticipation in terms of the change in the proportion of the 65 and above population in the three distinguished countries.
Overall, it is apparent that the number of 65 and above year-old people witnessed an upward trend in 3 countries over the period from 1988 to 2030 while the figure for Germany was the highest as compared to the remaining countries.
In 1988, starting with the highest figure of 20.45, Germany rose dramatically to 25.32 in 12 years. Similarly, Canada had a drastic shift when growing from 16.32 in 1988 to 20.67 in 2000. However, an unconsiderable increase was seen in the UK between the years 1988 and 2000, which was 14.23 and 14.89 respectively.
From 2000, the three countries are anticipated to rise significantly with a disparity of approximately 5 in 30 years. In particular, the population of 65 and above people in Canada is expected to soar to 26.35 whilst Germany is speculated to experience a substantial growth to 30.42 in 2030 to hold dominance. Despite being predicted to increase by just under 6 to reach a population of 20.35 in 2030, the UK might be ranked the lowest in comparison to the remaining countries
