The line graph describes how the proportion of three age groups has changed within a country since 1960 along with future predictions until 2040.
Overall, the shares of people aged 0-14 and 15-64 declined, and they are expected to continue decreasing in the future. In contrast, there was notable growth in the percentage of people aged over 65 – a trend which is predicted to continue until 2040.
Focusing on downward trends first, in 1960, just over half of the population were aged 15-64 (55%). This figure went up to 60% a decade later, at which point it remained relatively stable until 1990. It, however, had gone down by 10% by 2020, and it is estimated that the proportion of 15-64-year-olds will reach a low of 45% in 2040. Similarly, the percentage of the 0-14 age bracket fell substantially, going from just under a third initially to around 12% in 2020. It is forecast that this figure will drop further, making up a tenth in 2040.
On the other hand, the share of the elderly grew significantly. Standing at 15% initially, it rose gradually to 35% until 2020. Forecasts suggest that this pattern will continue well into the future, with the percentage of the 65+ age bracket peaking at 45% eventually.
