The charts below give information on the ages of the populations of Yemen and Italy in 2000 and projections for 2050.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The four pie charts illustrate the
percentage
of populations in three age groups of Yemenis and Italians in 2000,
then
even project the future situation in 2050. In 2000, half of the
population
of
Yemen
was in the
group
of 0-14
years
old, followed by the
group
of 15-59
years
old which was 46.3%.
In addition
, in Italy, about three-fifths of the
population
were 15-59 year-old Italians. The
percentage
of the Italian
population
who were younger than 14
years
old and older than 60
years
old was 24.1% and 14.3% respectively.
According to
the pie charts, in 2050, the
percentage
of the elderly will grow from 3.6% to 5.7% in
Yemen
.
Moreover
, there will be a twofold increase in the
percentage
of the Italian elderly. People who were under 14
years
old will be less than 40% and 12% in
Yemen
and Italy respectively.
Furthermore
, The
percentage
of the 15 to 59-year-old Yemeni
population
will go up to 57.3%
whereas
Italians decrease to 46.2%.
Overall
, both
Yemen
and Italy's elderly
population
will boost after five decades
while
the 0-14 age
group
meets the downward changes. The age
group
of 15-59
years
old will be the majority.
