The line graph illustrates how the demographic structure of New Zealand changes between 1950 and 2050.
Overall, while the ratio of people aged 0-14 and 38-45 witnessed an upward trend, a reverse pattern can be seen in the counterpart of people aged 25-37 and over 65. Additionally, the group of people over 65 years old is always the most prominent age bracket during the researched timescale.
In 1950, the proportion of people from 38 to 45 years old accounted for 25%, which was five times as much as that of 0-14-year-old people. Over the following 4 decades, the former experienced a significant increase to merely a half, whereas the latter had a slight dip to approximately 4%. Predictably, by 2050, the 38-45 age group is envisaged to hit the plateau at 40%, while the data of those from 0-14 may undergo rapid growth to 20%.
In contrast, in the 1950 year, over 60% of New Zealand’s population were aged 65 and over, which was far exceeding that of people aged 25-37 with 20%. After that, both the two age brackets experienced a period of fluctuation, before being forecasted
