The graph illustrates the distribution of New Zealand population in four age groups ranging from 0 to over 65 years old from 1950 and provides a projection to 2050.
Overall, there is an expecting increase in the number of people aged from 38 to 45 and the youngsters whose ages are under 14, whereas the two remaining groups are predicted to suffer a decline. In addition, the elderly consistently owns the highest percentage throughout the period, which is half of the population or higher.
In 1950, the figures for the elder started at 60%, after which it experienced a slight growth and peaked at 70% in 1990 before ending the period with an anticipating fall of 15%. A similar change, but to a greater extent, is seen in the figures for the 25-37 age group, which dropped dramatically from 20% to 10% in 1990, and stabilized within a decade before this downward movement continues and is estimated to hit a trough of 0% in 2050.
By contrast, the share of children remained unchanged in four decades, recorded as around 5%, followed by a quadruple to 20% at the end of the period. In the meantime, after doubling to nearly 50% in the first examined forty years, the figures for the middlemen sink and reached a plateau of 40% from 2000 onwards.
