Information about the population of Yemen and Italy in the

year

2000 and prediction for the number of people in the same countries in the

year

2050 in percentages is presented by four pie charts.

Overall

, it is most noticeable that in both the statistics for the

year

two-thousand and the projection for fifty years in the future less than six per cent of the citizens will be aged sixty or above.

In contrast

, almost a quarter of Italy's people were in the mentioned

age

group and

this

number is expected to increase to over 40% in the following half of a century. In the

year

2000 half of Yemen's population is at the

age

of fourteen or less and over 46% is between the ages of fifteen and fifty-nine,

this

results in fact that below 4% of the people living there are 60 or over.

Nevertheless

, an increase in the numbers for

this

group is expected reaching almost 6%. The same is predicted for the middle-aged to reach over 57% and for the youngest to drop to only 37%.

On the other hand

, in ,Italy over 60% of its citizens were of working

age

and less than 15% were below the

age

of 14. In the

future it is expected that children will represent even a smaller portion of the nation at slightly over 11%.

On the contrary

, the other two

age

groups will almost be equal at close to 42% for the eldest and around 46% for the middle-aged.
