The graph below shows the proportion of the population aged 65 and over between 1940 and 2040 in three different countries. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.

The line graph illustrates and predicts the percentage population of elderly

people

over 65 years in three countries namely the

USA

,Sweden and

Japan

for a century starting from 1940. Looking from an

overall

perspective it is readily apparent that there is a rising trend in the ageing population in all given countries

while

Japan

depicts the most significant climb

at the end

of the period . The dramatic change is observed in

Japan

starting the course at the bottom and reaching the top

at the end

.

On the other hand

,the

USA

had a higher number of aged population and will be placed at the lowest in 2040. In 1940,the

USA

accounted for the majority of elders accounting for just below 10%.

while

Sweden stood in second place with nearly 5% of aged

people

.In both countries, the number of elderly

people

fluctuated and rose marginally below 20% in Sweden and just above 15% in the

USA

in 2020.But

thereafter

it is predicted to hit a high of 25% and above 20% respectively.

Besides

,

Japan

stayed at 5% and with little fluctuations ascended to 10% in 2020 ,but it is supposed to plunge over the next 20 years to more than 25% ,holding the highest number of elderly

people

.
