The pie chart illustrates the proportion of the population by
age
 according to 3 different
age
 groups in 1950 and 2000, with future estimates for 2050. It can be seen that in both different years, the general trend is for prediction of increases in populations of people aged 65+ and a decrease in those aged 0-19 years 2050. Looking at 2.5 billion people in 1950, about 44% of the population aged 0-19 but
this
 is predicted to decrease by 17% by 2050.
Conversely
, the 65+
age
group
 will
increase
 by 11% in 2050 to 16%.
Likewise
, those aged 20-64 years are expected to
increase
 from 51% to 57%. Turning to an
increase
 in population to 6 billion in 2000, there is a similar
increase
 predicted for the 65-plus
age
group
; from around 7% in 2000 to 16% in 2050. The
age
group
 -0-19, is expected to decrease by around 12% in 2050 to 27%. Those aged 20-64 years are expected to fall by around 3% to 57%. To conclude, in 1950 and 2000 and project figures in 2050, we hope to observe an
increase
 in the elderly in 60+ by 2050.
Conversely
