Tha chart and table below give information about population figures in Japan

The given data shows the

population

of

Japan

as well as

the percentage of the elderly

population

there from 1950 and

also

gives

prediction

Fix the agreement mistake

predictions

till the year 2055. As is seen in the given diagram, the

population

of

Japan

started to decline after 2005 and after 2035 it will sharply decrease. The

population

over 65

years

will be more than 40% of the total

population

in the year 2055. As is shown in the bar graph,

Japan

’s

population

in 1950 was only 84

million

. The

population

kept on increasing without any exception and in 2005 it reached over 127

million

which was the highest

population

in

Japan

. After 2005 the

population

dropped and in 2015 it was just over 125

million

. After 20

years

the

population

will drop sharply and

finally

in 2055 the

population

of

Japan

would be only 89.9

million

which is almost the same as it was in 1950. The prediction clearly indicates that the

population

of

Japan

is surely to drop in the future. Again, the table data presents the numbers and percentages of the elderly

population

in

Japan

who are over 65

years

old. As is seen, the number of

such

older citizens in

Japan

was only 4.1

million

which was less than 5% of the total

population

.

This

percentage reached 20 in 2005 and it is predicted that in the future more than one-third of the Japanese

population

will be over 65

years

old.
