The charts below give information on the ages of the populations of Yemen and Italy in 2000 and projections for 2050. Summarise the information and reporting the main features, and make comparisions where relevant.

The given pie charts illustrate the percentage of

people

falling into 3 distinct

age

groups in

Yemen

and Italy in two different years.

Overall

, it is discernible from the charts that Italy had an older population in 2000, and the same is predicted for the year 2050. Notably, the populations in both countries are expected to

age

over the course of 50 years starting from 2000. In 2000, just over half of

Yemen

's population was aged 14 or under,

while

most Italians (61.6%) fell into the 15 to 59

age

group, and only 14.3% were under 15 years of

age

.

In addition

,

people

aged 60 or over accounted for almost a quarter of Italy's population, but only 3.6% of

people

living in

Yemen

. In 2050, the figures for

people

aged 15 to 59 and 60 or over in

Yemen

are expected to grow, by 11% and 2.1%

accordingly

, at the expense of a reduction in the percentage of children aged under 15 to reach 37.0%. Meanwhile, the proportion of Italian inhabitants who fell into the 60 or over group is anticipated to rise by a massive 18.2% at the expense of reductions in the percentages of children and elderly

people

to reach 11.5% and 46.2%, for each.
