The graph illustrates the amount of elderly
people
of ages 65 and above living in 3 countries, namely Japan
, Sweden
and USA
between 1940 and 2040.
Overall
, it is clear that
despite the increase in the number of old aged people
in all 3 countries as compared to the past, USA
will have the highest number in the future.
In 1940's, although
elderly people
only contributed to around 10% of the total population of Japan
, it was the country on top of the list followed by Sweden
and USA
with only around 7% and 5% of old people
respectively. From 1940 to 1980, both Japan
and Sweden
saw a steady rise in the number of elderly people
to about 15% in both countries. On the contrary
, the levels in USA
dropped below 5% after 1940 and remained stable till 1980. Just Before 2008 Sweden
overtook Japan
as 20% of its population consisted of elderly people
till the year 2018, whereas
the numbers in Japan
were just below15% till the year 2020. The numbers in Sweden
fluctuated after 1980. USA
, on the other hand
faced a gradual increase post 1980 and the levels reached 10% at the end
of 2020. Although
USA
had the least population of those above 65 years from the beginning, in future it is expected to be on the top with 25% of elderly people
, followed by Sweden
and Japan
with 25% and 23% respectively.Submitted by mshkrp2 on
