years
from 1990 to 2020.
Overall
, it can be seen that there was an upward trend in the number of people at 25-54 years
old, while
the figure for the two
youngest age
groups
decreased slightly during this
same timeline. Nonetheless
, the two
other groups
stayed almost the same.
According to
three younger groups
, the 25-54 age
group grew significantly from 31% in 1990 to almost half of the population in 2020. Such
a trend was not seen in the two
figures for the youngest group, children under 14 years
old saw an approximate drop of 8%, followed by a 10% decrease in the population in the 15-24 age
group.
Turning to the remaining categories, people at the age
of 65 and over had almost the same figure as the 55-64 age
one, respectively 12% and 13%. Over 10 years
, the two
oldest groups
remained unchanged, whilst the number of elderly between the ages of 55 and 64 fell to 10% of the population.Submitted by noellanist on
