The Graph show the proportion of the population 65 aged and over between 1940 and 2040 in three different countries.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The line graph illustrates the changes of elderly population in USA, Sweden and Japan during a period of 100 years from 1940 to 2040.
Overall, the projection of the elder proportions shows a dramatic increase by 2040.
In 1940, the highest proportion of elderly had shown in USA, accounted nearly 10 %. This was higher than that of Sweden and Japan population which were revealed approximately 7 % and 5%. However, Apart from the brief decline over the 40 years following, the proportion of elderly in USA and Sweden gradually increased to nearly 15 % in 1980. While the figure of ageing population in USA experienced a little declined between 1980 and 200, Japan elderly population recovered at 5% in 2000.
A closer to year 2000, Japan trend will be experienced a gradual increased prior to rocket by more than 25 percent at 2040. The figure of elderly in Sweden will undergo a fluctuation before will finished at 25% while USA elderly is predicted to peak just nearly 25% at the end of the course.
Interestingly, despite Japan elderly population recorded as the lowest proportion in 1940, the forecast of its figure will be overtaken the proportion of USA and Sweden over a 100 year period.
