The line graph shows the percentage of population aged 65 and over in Japan, Sweden,

and USA between the year 1940 till 2040. As shown on the graph above, Japan has the highest
percentage of population aged 65 and over in 2040.
Overall, Japan started off as the lowest percentage of population aged 65 and over, at
5% in 1940, and experienced a decrease at approximately 3% in 1960 and 1980. In 2000, it
increased to 5% and continued to escalate steadily till 2020 at 10%. Between 2020 to 2040 it
started to rise dramatically and reached its peak at about 27%.
USA is the opposite from Japan. USA started off at about 8%, the highest percentage of
population aged 65 and over in 1940. From the year 1940 to 2040, USA’s line graph increased
relatively steady, between 2000 and 2020 it went down at roughly 14%, and continued to rise
steadily till it reached its peak at about 23% in 2040, which is the lowest percentage of all three
countries.
We can see a ‘zig-zag’ kind of pattern in Sweden’s line graph. Sweden started off at
around 7% in 1940, it experienced an increase in 1960, but only by about 2%. It continued to
surge to 14% in 1980. As seen on the graph, Sweden experienced both a decrease and an
increase between 1980 and 2040. In 1980, it decreased from 14% to a rough 12%, from that it
went up to 20% between the year 2000 and 2020. The percentage dropped again at about 18%
between 2020 and 2040, and finally reached its peak at 25% in the year 2040.
In conclusion from the line graph above, Japan started off as the lowest country to have
a population aged 65 and over in 1940 and ended up to be the country with the highest
population aged 65 and over in 2040. USA on the other hand, started off the highest and ended
up as the lowest country with the population of people aged 65 and over.
 In many countries, especially ours, the rate of sexism to women is still high. Gender
discrimination towards women still happen in workplaces, in academic fields, and in our
neighborhoods. Until this day, many people still believe that men are more superior than
women, and this kind of statement results in a disadvantage for women in so many aspects in
life, such as career and education.
Before Indonesia’s independence, Indonesian women were not allowed to receive
education. They were forced to stay at home and cook dinner for their husbands, they weren’t
even allowed to go out if their husbands did not accompany them. That’s what I call sexism and
gender discrimination towards women. People believe that women are unable to do things that
are done by men, such as working, being strong, doing “manly” things. But in reality, women are
so much more than that. There are a lot of successful business women and women athletes out
there, so what makes men better than women?
As a woman, I strongly agree that universities should accept equal numbers of male and
female students in every subject. There is no actual evidence or data saying that men are
smarter than women, and it is proven that there are some women who are more successful than
men. Personally, I don’t think that gender affects the skills and knowledge someone can have,
whether you are a male or a female, or genderqueer. There are no genders that are more
superior than the other.
I believe that all genders, men and women, even the non-binary people, should receive
equal chances in education and career fields. To conclude, I agree that an equal number of
male and female students should be accepted to universities.
