W1 | Ageing Population in Britain

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.
