The line graph illustrates that the proportion of inhabitants in three distinct age groups in a nation over the period of 80 years from 1960.
Overall, it is predicted that while the percentage of residents in the age of 0-14 as well as aged 15-64 will witness a downward trend, the opposite will true for people aged 65. Besides, the proportion of people aged 15-64 accounted for the greatest percentage for all the recorded and predicted years.
People aged between 15 and 64 years old had the highest proportion at over 50% in 1960, and slightly fluctuated from 1970 to 2000, followed by a marginal dip in over the next 20 years. This figure is forecast to decrease slowly during a few last years of the period, before ending at 55% in 2040. Similarly, in 1960, up to 14-children began at approximately 30%, then gradually decreased calculating from 1970 to 2000. After a slow downward trend between 2000 and 2020, the percentage of people in this age group anticipated to continuously decrease over the last years.
Regarding people aged 65 and above, the figure for this group was at 15% in the beginning, and steadily increased in the period of next 40 years, then seen a noticeable rise from 2000 to 2020. This proportion forecast to climb, before peak at 55% in the year 2040.
