The charts display data on the ages of the habitants of Yemen and Italy in 2000 and predictions for 2050.

Overall

,

while

the

adult

population of Yemen is projected to experience an increase, the same sector in Italy is predicted to experience a decrease by 2050 . Beginning with Yemen, it can be seen that in 2000 there was roughly the same rate of young

people

as the

adult

population, with a small percentage of elderly

people

.

However

, these proportions are predicted to change dramatically by 2050, increasing

adult

inhabitants from 46,3% to 57,3%, and experiencing a drop in rates from 50,1% to 37,0% of young

people

.

In addition

, another sector that may experience negligible growth is elderly

people

, increasing by 2,1%. Looking at Italy,

it is clear that

the

adult

and youth population will decrease,

while

the elderly will increase rates.

Whereas

during 2000 adults were more than twice as the elderly, projections show that adults will drop from 51.5% to 46.2%,

while

at the same time, the elderly will increase from 24.1% to 42.3%, almost double. It is

also

worth noting a negligible change in the youth sector, which may decrease by 2,8%.
