In regards to the issue of aging population, the given figure takes different conditions from others and furthermore compares how the proportion of people who aged over 65 changed since 1940 and how it will differ until 2040, based on distinct three nations. Since my major is statistics, I will capture major trends and explain in details below. By and large, it can be seen from the graph there were escalate movement in the figure of aging population throughout the given period, and the rate expected to rocket in 2040. When examining the details of the chart, one can see that the percentage of Japan's elderly population stood at exactly 5 percent in the initial year, and it declined by about half percent of the former in around 1885; however, it started to return back. Finally, the Japanese’ aged group over 65 is anticipated to rocket to almost 30 percent. When it comesto the Sweden, the number of senior citizens climbed continuously from only about 7 to 20 percent between 1940 and present, including slight drop for about 10 years from about 1980. After that, Sweden is estimated to moderate fall until around 2030; and, it will recover and reach a peak of over 25 percent. On the other hand, for the case of the USA where nearly one to ten people was elderly who are aged over 65 years old in 1940, the rate of this group indicated relatively stable growth. Nevertheless,the US line graph also seems to increase to nearly a quarter in the year 2040. In a nut shell, regardless of nations, our descentants will have a much more responsibility to support older generation due to prolonged longevity in the near future. |
