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%.Submitted by Nastaran_zandy on
