The chart gives information about the
UK’s ageing population in 1985 and makes prediction for 2035.
Answer:
The bar chart compares the proportion of
elderly Britons since 1985 and its prediction to 2035.
It is clearly seen that, the overall
percentage of people who are 65 ages and over living in Britain will be grown
much more over a 50-year period. However, Wales has had the highest number of
retired adults and is likely to stay the same as the reminder of the timeline
given.
Wales, Scotland, and UK have the same
pattern. In the first year, Wales was the highest at more than 15 while both
latter countries followed behind at exactly a quarter. Interestingly, all are
forecasted to undergo a similar growth of elderly population to the end of
period. Wales will rank first at well above 25% with UK and England will experience
a close figure behind.
At the same time, Ireland and Scotland stood
firmly below 15%. It was approximately 14% and 13% respectively. However, Ireland
is highly likely to be inhabited by much more older generation and the second
highest figure in 2035.
A trend-increased population of Northern
Ireland is predicted the widened gap almost a half population between 1985 and
2035 whereas the population in Scotland also is predicted will increase from
15% in 1985 to 25% in 2035. So, the population in 5 different English Countries
is going to grow over a 50-year period.
