Sample Answer :
The table shows the percentages of the Canadian, German, and British populations aged 65-andover in 1988, 2000, and predicted figures for 2030.
Overall, Germany had the highest percentages of the population aged 65 and over for all years, including predicted future figures, while the UK had the lowest figures in all years. Additionally, the figures for all countries increased over time, and are expected to continue increasing into the future.
In 1988, 20% of the German population were aged 65 and over. The figures for Canada and the UK were lower, at 16% and 14% respectively. By 2000, the percentage of the population aged 65 and over had risen in all countries, with Germany at 25%, Canada at 20%, and the UK at 15%.
Figures for all countries are expected to continue increasing into the future, and by 2030, 30% of the German population is predicted to be aged 65 or over. The figures for Canada are predicted to be 26%, while the UK will be at 20%.
