The table details the percentage of senior demographics and its predicted figures in three countries namely Canada, Germany and the UK between 1988 and 2030.
Looking at the graph at a general level, Germany had and will have the highest rate of people aged 65 or older, whereas the reverse trend is true for the UK. Another interesting point is that the overall shares of senior residents keeps rising over the given period.
From 1988 to 2000, the elderly aged 65 or above constituted one-fifth of the population in Germany, as opposed to 16% and 14% of these people in Canada and the UK respectively. The figures for Canada and Germany went up by 5% to 16% for the former and 25% for the latter. The UK witnessed a less pronounced change with only a negligible 1% increase.
In 2030, the proportions of 65-year-old people and the older in three different nations are predicted to enjoy upswings, going up by 5%, representing 26% in Canada, 30% in Germany and 20% in the UK.
