You should spend about 20 minutes on this task. The graph shows the proportion of the population aged 65 and over between 1940 and 2040 in three different countries. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words.

The line graph illustrates the fraction of people aged higher or equal to 65 years old in three countries comprising the USA,

Sweden

and Japan in six years with 20-year intervals from 1940 to a projection

Overall

,

it is clear that

the population in America and

Sweden

are almost the same throughout the record

while

Japan staying in the final place will surpass those two countries in the near future.

To begin

with, the United States of America started at a nominal 9% and went up to 15% in 1980. A slight decrease was seen after 1980 before hovering at 14% until 2020 and will surge to nearly a massive 23% in 2040.

Furthermore

, the proportion of elderly people in

Sweden

was a meagre 7% and its trend continuously soared;

besides

, will arrive and end the period at an enormous 25% in 2040. What is interesting to note is the percentage of

between the first year and the

is different by just under 5 times.

Additionally

, the percentage of Japanese senior citizens was at a minuscule 5% in 1940 and dropped to 3% in 1960;

consequently

, levelled off for 30 years and it was predicted to rocket up, reaching its peak at a gigantic 27% in the

last

year. What is surprising to see is Japan in 1940 less than 2040 by more than 5 times.
