The graph compares the number of people aged 65 and over in three countries between 1940 and 2040. Overall, there was and expected to be an upward trend at the end of the given period. And Japan is forecasted to be the most leading country with the number of aged people, despite showing the least proportion in the year 1940. In 1940 Sweden and the USA started their position at about 7 and 8 percent increasing moderately in the next 20 years. In 1960, however, there was a sharp growth in their rates followed by a plateau of USA's trend and a period of fluctuation for Sweden. In 1940 this percentage for USA and Sweden is predicted to be about 23% and 25% respectively. Regarding Japan, only 5% of population was people over 65 in 1940. This number, then, decreased slowly followed by a period of stability till 2020s. However, there is an expectation about a significant sharp rose from 10% in 2030 to over 25% in 2040.
