The table provides data and forecasts regarding the proportion of people aged 65 and above in Canada, Germany, and the UK.
Overall, all three countries are expected to experience an upward trend in the percentage of their elderly population over the given period.
On the one hand, Germany is projected to have the most significant increase in the proportion of its elderly population. The percentage is predicted to grow by approximately 10 percentage points between 1988 and 2030, making it the country with the highest change. Similarly, Canada is forecast to witness a comparable increase of about 10 percentage points by 2030. Between 1988 and 2000, Canada already experienced a notable rise of around 5 percentage points in this demographic.
On the other hand, the UK is expected to have the smallest proportion of people aged 65 and above. In 1988, the figure stood at 14.23%, rising slightly to 14.89% by 2000. By 2030, this proportion is predicted to reach 20.35%, reflecting a relatively modest increase compared to Canada and Germany.
