The line graph compares the number of people aged 65 and over in the three different countries, namely Japan, Sweden, and the USA since 1940 with predictions to 2040.
Overall, there are considerable upward trends in the percentage of people aged 65 and over in the three countries over the given period. It’s noticeable that Japan’s elderly population is predicted to have the sharpest increase.
As is shown, at the beginning of the reported period, the proportion of people aged 65 and over in Japan was 5%, followed by a slight growth to about 7% in 2020. After that, this rate is expected to have a rocket and peak at about 27% in 2040.
By contrast, in the USA, the population rate started at under 9% in 1940 before a steady increase to 15% in 1980 and remained almost unchanged until 2020. Predictions show that this proportion will peak at 23% in 2040.
In Sweden, a fluctuating climb in the percentage of old people from nearly 7% in 1940 to under 20% in 2020. Predictably, the figure for Sweden will continue the existing trend and peak at around 25% in the final year.
