The table compares the proportion of the elderly in the national population among three countries between 1988 and 2000. It also provides a prediction for 2030. Overall, it is evident that Germany owned the highest shares of people who are older than 65 and its position is predicted to be maintained in 2030. In addition, an upward movement in the distribution of the elder is seen and anticipated to continue in all countries examined, with UK witnessing the least significant transformation. In 1988, 20. 45% of the German population were the people at the age of 65 or plus, compared to only 16. 32% of Canada and 14. 23% of UK. However, in the following twelve years, both Canada and Germany experienced an increase between 4 to 5% while the figure for UK remained relatively stable at around 14. 5%. According to the table, the rankings of three countries is projected to remain unchanged with Germany being second to none, followed by Canada and the UK. By 2030, German elderly will have constituted 30. 42% of the population due to a dramatic growth of around 5% from 25. 32% in 2000. Similarly, those of Canada and the UK are foreseen to share the same pattern with an increase in the vicinity of 6%, reaching 26. 35% and 20. 35% respectively.
