The charts below give information on the ages of the population of Yemen and Italy in 2000 and projections for 2050. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The pie charts compare the percentage of Yemen and Italy citizens in three different age groups( 0-14

years

, 15-59

years

, and those who are more than 60

years

) over a 50-year period commencing from 2000.

Overall

, it can be seen that Yemen's

population

is younger than Italy's and will remain so even by 2050,

although

the share of older people will grow.

In addition

, the

population

of Italy was older and will age

further

, with the elderly making up a substantial portion of the

population

by 2050.

To begin

with, in 2000, Yemen had a youthful

population

, with 50.1% aged 0-14

years

, 46.3% aged 15-59

years

, and only 3.6% aged 60+

years

. By 2050, the

population

of the youngest age

group

is projected to decrease to 37%.

However

, the 15-59

years

group

as well as

the 60+

years

group

will slightly increase to 57.3% and 5.7%, respectively. Shifting to Italy's pie charts, it is apparent that in 2000, Italy had an ageing

population

, with just 14.3% aged 0-14

years

, 61.6% aged 15-59

years

, and 24.1% aged 60 and above. Projections for 2050 show a significant increase in the elderly

population

, with 42.3% aged 60 and above.

In contrast

, the percentage of the 15-59

years

group

is predicted to shrink to 46.2%, and the 0-14

years

group

will

further

decline to 11.5%.
