The given illustration depicts an actual determination of elderly proportions who aged 65 and more in three different countries (Canada, Germany, and the UK), in years 1998 and 2000. Moreover, it predicts the progression of these populations in 2030.
Overall, there is a significant difference between the prevalence of old ages in the aforementioned countries. As for Canada and Germany, they possessed a similar rate of increase, whereas the UK showed a various growth ratio. However, the predicted percentage of elderly population progression was almost similar in Canada and the UK, while Germany demonstrated a quite less percentage.
In 1988, Canada had an aged population percentage of 16.32% of its total population. Pertaining to Germany, a record of 20.45% of its population was dominated by aged population. As for the UK, only 14.23% of its population was 65+ years old.
While in 2000, Canadian elderlies’ percentage had increased by around 4%, whereas German population had a 5% increase. Conversely, the UK had an almost persistent percentage.
Finally, in 2030, it is predicted that old Canadian and British populations will have an increase in their percentages by about 6%.
