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

The four pie charts compare three age categories in

Yemen

and Italy between the year 2000 and the predictions for the year 2050. It is obvious that there are more populations aged under 60

years

old in

Yemen

over the period shown, in which the majority of them are between 15 and 59

years

old after half a century. In 2000, half of the citizens in

Yemen

aged between 0-14

years

old, which,

however

, was only 14.3% in Italy. The European country recorded 61.6% of the population aged between 15 and 59

years

old and 24.1% aged above 60

years

.

By contrast

, the figures in

Yemen

were 46.3% and 3.6%, respectively. In 2050, the proportion of ageing population(60+

years

old) in Italy will almost double, reaching 42.3%, whilst the figure for Italian ageing between 15 and 59 is set to reduce to 46.2%, but the young generation ageing under 14 merely will experience a slight decrease, to 11.5%.

In contrast

, 57.3% of Yemenese will belong to the age category between 15 and 59,

whereas

only 5.7% of them above 60, albeit a predictable growth of 2.1%.

Nevertheless

, the percentage of young people under the age of 14 in the Asian country is estimated to decline to 37%, indicating the trend of growing older.
