The line graph depicts the percentage of China's population distributed among 3 age groups.

The line graph illustrates the

percentage

of China's

population

distributed among three age groups—0-14, 15-64, and 65+—from 1960 to 2050, including future projections.

Overall

, the proportion of the working-age

group

(15-64) was the largest throughout the period,

while

the elderly

population

(65+) saw a gradual rise.

In contrast

, the

percentage

of young people (0-14) declined significantly. By 2050, the share of the 65+ age

group

is expected to surpass that of the 0-14 age

group

. In 1960, children aged 0-14 accounted for the highest

percentage

, at roughly 40%.

However

,

this

figure experienced a steady decline over the years, falling to around 25% by 2020 and is projected to drop

further

to approximately 15% by 2050.

Similarly

, the elderly

population

(65+) began at a low point of around 5% in 1960 but has shown consistent growth. By 2020, it reached 15% and is expected to rise significantly, surpassing 25% by 2050. The working-age

population

(15-64) showed an opposing trend. Starting at about 55% in 1960,

this

group

gradually increased to peak at over 70% around 2010.

However

,

after

this

peak, the

percentage

began to decline and is predicted to decrease

further

to just over 60% by 2050. Despite

this

decline,

this

group

will likely remain the largest segment of the

population

throughout the entire period.
