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.
