The graph shows the increase in the aging population in Japan, Sweden and the USA, which indicates that the percentage of elderly people in all three countries is expected to increase to almost 25% of the respective population by the year 2040. According to the graph, in 1940 the proportion of people aged 65 or more stood at only 5% in Japan, approximately 7% in Sweden and 9% in the USA. However, while the figures for the Western countries grew to about 15% in around 1990, the figure for Japan dipped to only 2.5% for much of this period, before rising to almost 5% again at the present time. In spite of some fluctuation in the expected percentage, the proportion of old people will probably continue to increase in the next two decades in the three countries, with a more dramatic rise predicted between 2030 and 2040 in Japan.
