The bar chart shows some information on the population aged 65 and over in the UK. The data are available for 1985 and there is a projection for 2035.
As an overall trend, it can be clearly seen that the proportion of people aged 65 and over will be by far higher in 2035 than in 1985. In 1985 the aging population has the largest share of just over 15% in Wales. Meanwhile the share of Northern Ireland is less by about a fifth and is around 12% which is the smallest for the same year. By the year 2035 Wales will have the largest share in the aging population again, and it will exceed its own figure for the year 1985 by about two thirds coming up to over 25%.
It is interesting to note that England and Northern Ireland will have the same shares of about 23% in 2035 whereas back in 1985 their portions differ significantly.
