Overall, it is apparent from the information supplied that the remarkable change in society related to 15-59-year-olds during these years for both countries. In 2000, in Yemen, the old people made up 3.6% of the total number of people in comparison with 24.1% in Italy. The 0-14 year group in Italy reached 14.3 %, which was almost 3 times higher than that of Yemen. Moreover, in Italy, the figure for 15-59 year-age was by far the most important in 2000, accounting for 61.6%, while Yemen's young people just reached 46.3 % at the same time. In 2050,the 0-14 age group in Yemen is forecasted to account for 37%, which is higher than that figure in Italy roughly 25%. On the other hand a tiny fraction of the old people is projected to be recorded in Yemen, 42.3% of Italy's people are expected to be elderly. The figure for Yemen and Italy's 15-59-year-old people is predicted to occupy 57.3% and 46.2%, respectively.
