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 the proportion of how many people lived in

Yemen

and Italy in the years 2000 and the prediction by 2050. In general, what stands out from the graph is that the middle-aged group is the main

population

contributor in

Yemen

and Italy in both years. Another interesting point is that both countries are predicted to record an increase in the elderly community. Looking at the details, as regards

Yemen

's populace, in 2000, the youngest

Yemen

people comprised around half of the

population

, whilst

this

group accounted for 14.3% of Italy's inhabitants.

This

figure is estimated to decrease slightly to just above one-tenth by 2050, making it one-third of

Yemen

's children figure. In 2005, 46.3% of

Yemen

's

population

was middle-aged, which is expected to rise marginally by 11%.

However

, at the beginning of the period, the proportion of those aged 15-59 years in Italy saw higher than

Yemen

's

population

figure, but it is predicted to drop slightly to 46.2%

at the end

of the period. Turning to the oldest populace, the difference in numbers is insignificant in

Yemen

, where they made up the smallest part of the inhabitants in 2000 (3.6%) and will grow by just about 2% by the middle of the 2000s.

In contrast

, senior citizens in Italy will almost double their count from 2000, which comprised about a quarter.
