The charts below give information on the ages of the populations of Yemen and Italy in 2000 and projections for 2050.
The pie charts illustrate data about the proportion of Yemeni and Italian citizens
according to
3 different age groups in 2000, with the future forecast for 2050. In general, it can be seen that in both countries the general trend is for a predicted increase in the
population
of people aged 60+ and a decrease in those aged 0-14 by 2050. In 2000 just over half the
population
of
Yemen
were under 14 year-olds, compare to just over 14% of Italians in the same age group. Only a fewest percentage of people in
Yemen
were over 60 at 3.6%, in contradiction of nearly a quarter of the Italian
population
. The largest group for Italy was the 15-59-year-olds with just over 60%
while
Yemen
had 46.3% of its
population
in
this
category. The prediction is pretty clear: both of countries expects that older part of their will increase to 2050 and young part will be decreased at the same time:
Yemen
will have 5.7%/37.0% of these groups of people
while
Italy will have much more olders: 42.3%/11.5%. Working-age
population
will be grow to 57.3% in
Yemen
and drop to 46.2% in Italy.
