The pie chart illustrates the proportions of the population in Yemen and Italy according to 3 different
age
 groups in 2000, with a future estimate for 2050. It can be seen that in both countries, the general trend is for the prediction of an
increase
 in the population of people aged 60+ and a decline in those aged 0-14 years 2050. Looking at Yemen in 2000, about half of the population aged 0-14 but
this
 is predicted to decline by 13% by 2050.
Conversely
, the 60+
age
group
 will
increase
 by 2% in 2050 to 5.7%.
Likewise
, those aged 15-59 years are expected to
increase
 from 46.3% to 57.3%. Turning to Italy in 2000, there was a similar
increase
 predicted for the 60-plus
age
group
; from around 24% in 2000 to 42.3% in 2050. The
age
group
 -0-14, as in Yemen, is expected to decrease by around 3% in 2050 to 11.5%. Those aged 15-59 years are expected to drop around 15% to 46.2%. To conclude, in Yemen and Italy we hope to observe an
increase
 in the elderly in 60+ by 2050.
Instead
, it is predicted that the 0-14
age
group
 will plummet by 2050.
