The figure illustrates the proportion of people who are 65 years old or older in Canada, Germany, and the UK in the years 1980, 2000 and what is expected to be in 2030.
Overall, It is obvious that all three countries have experienced a rise in ratio of the elderly population and it is likely to continue this trend until 2030. Additionally, Germany has the highest ratio of elderly people among other countries throughout the given period. on contrary, Canada which had the lowest number of them in the beginning, is anticipated to increase significantly and overtook the UK in the end.
To begin, in 1980 10 percent of candian population are 65 or older, while in the same time this ratio is just a little less than 15 percent for the UK and exactly 15 percent for Germany. twenty years later, all countries witnessed an increase in the number of old residents and the figure for Germany stood at 20 percent by far, while this number for both the UK and Canada was just 15 percent.
Furthermore, the forecast for the year 2030, shows a dramatic rise for the next 30 years of these countries. although it is predicted that older population of Canad will outnumber the same age group in the UK, by reaching more than 20 percent, german who will be 65 or higher are expected to remain the highest by climbing to 25 percent.
