The chart gives information about the percentage of the population aged at least 65 over the course of a century, starting from 1940, in Japan, Sweden and the USA.
Looking at the graph, it is obvious that the proportions of old people in all the three countries are expected to rise in the future, although they have experienced different trends since 1940.
According to the statistics, there was nearly 10% of the population in the USA who were 65 years old or more, while the percentage in Sweden and Japan was 7% and 5%, respectively. After a 40-year period of increase, the proportion in America has maintained the same level annually since 1980 at 15%, whereas it has remained a steady growth in Sweden, which is predicted to hit 25% in 2040. However, experts also expect that it will surpass 20% in the US in the future.
On the other hand, a relatively remarkable decrease in the proportion of old people could be shown from 1940 to the 1980s in Japan. Nevertheless, since then, the percentage has risen significantly, which passed the same level in 1940 20 years later. It is predicted to keep growing more tremendously in the following years, surpassing 10% in the 2020s and skyrocketing to 27% less than two decades later.
