hello guys, this is my practice for IELTS test, which mainly about the analysis of data. Thanks^_^
The graph shows the increase in the ageing population in Japan, Sweden and USA. It indicates the percentage of elderly people in all three countries increase by almost 25% of the respective populations by 2040.
In 1940 the proportion of aged 65 or more account for only 5% in Japan, approximately 7% in Sweden and 9% in the US. However, the figures for the western countries grew to about 15% in around 1990, the figure for Japan dropped to almost 2.5%, before rising to 5% again at the present time.
In spite of previous fluctuations, the proportion of older people would probably continue to climb in the next two decades in the three countries. A more dramatic surge is predicted between 2030 and 2040 in Japan, by that time the proportion of elderly people in the three countries would be similar.
