The graph below shows the proportion of the population aged 65 and over between 1940 and 2040 in three different countries.

The line graph illustrates the

percentage

of the

population

over 65 between 1940 and 2040 in the three various countries.

Overall

, there were substantial upward trends in the

percentage

of senior citizens above 65 in three developed countries. Another interesting point is that the

USA

had a higher

percentage

of old

people

in 1980, but in 2040, Japan will likely have dramatically grown more than others. In the beginning, the portion of

people

aged 65 and over in the

USA

noticeably rose during the first 40

years

. After the peak moment in 1980, the

percentage

of the

USA

witnessed a gradual slump till 2018. Starting with 13 per

cent

in 2018 there was a remarkable increase, which is predicted that the

USA

will show 25 per

cent

of the aged

population

in 2040. Meanwhile,

Sweden

maintained the same level of old

people

in the first 20

years

. As the

USA

dates,

Sweden

saw an unexpected growth till the 15 in 1980. After the short period of decrease, which lasted over 30

years

, it witnessed a sharp increase to 20 per

cent

. Nowadays the graph of

Sweden

demonstrates the drop, but it is predicted that the

percentage

of the old

population

in

Sweden

will overtake the

USA

in 2040. In the end, the share of aged 65

people

in Japan saw a considerable increase over the 20

years

and between 1960 and 1980 it stood at 3 per

cent

.

Then

the

percentage

of the old
