The table compares the proportion of people at the age of 65 and over in three different countries in the years 1988 and 2000 as well as future estimates for 2030.
Overall, it is clear that all countries saw a noticeable increase in the number of older people from 1988 to 2000, with the exception of the UK whose figure remained all but unchanged. In the foreseeable future, it is expected that all three countries will have more elderly people in 2030 than they did in the past.
In 1988, Germany had by far the highest proportion of the elderly aged 65 and above, while the figures for Canada and the UK stood at 16. 32% and 14. 23% respectively. The trends for Canada and Germany were upward, with the former ascending by around 4% and the latter growing by 5% in 2000. In contrast, the percentage of the UK's aged population did not witness any notable changes during this period.
As for future predictions, the given countries are predicted to experience a significant growth in the number of old people, by around 5 % in 2030.
