The table below shows information and predictions regarding the change in percentage of the population aged 65 and above in three countries

The table gives information about the proportion of the population who are 65 years old and over in 3 countries (Canada, Germany and the UK) in 1988, 2000 and an estimated percentage in 2030. Overall, the population of elderly people is predicted to rise in all three countries from 1988 to 2030. The highest percentage of older people was in Germany, which will continue to remain the highest in 2030, while the lowest proportion can be seen in the UK over the period given. Between 1988 and 2000, the aging population of Canada and Germany went up to by around 5% to 20. 67% and 25. 32% respectively. The UK, on the other hand, showed relatively little change in the proportion of its population aged 65 plus and remained at just under 15% in both years. By 2030, it is expected that the population of people aged 65 and above will increase by approximately 5. 5% in all countries. The percentage is forecast to reach 30. 42% in Germany, 26. 35% in Canada and 20. 35% in the UK.
