The graph illustrates information about the percentage of population who are 65 and above over a 100-year period between 3 countries. In general, it can be seen that there was an upward trend in numbers in all 3 countries. However, Japan have the most significant growth in the graph.
To begin with, USA and Sweden have about 6% to 9% proportion of people aged 65 and above during 1940. Both have a steady increase in population until the end of 1980. Subsequently, both countries ended with about 23% to 25% of their population with the said age group in the final 20 years of the graph.
On the other hand, Japan started with only 5% residents, although there was a gradual decrease in numbers during the first 60 years of the graph, it can be seen that there was a big leap in population figures by the year 2030 of up to 25% of their citizens.
