The graph below shows the proportion of the population aged 65 and over between 1940 and 2040 in

three different countries.

The line graph illustrates the figure for the number of people who are 65 and above in three distinct
nations over the decade periods

Overall, an upward trend can be seen in the proportion of elderly people in Japan, Sweden, and the USA.
Japan is expected to be the most significant growth in the number of elderly people.

Nearly 10% of Americas were aged 65 onwards, compared with 7% of Swedenist and 5 % of Japanese
starting in 1970. The percentage of elderly people in the USA and Sweden rose gradually in the next 50
years with both figures being nearly 15%. By contrast, the proportion of Japan saw a slight decrease and
remained under 5% until the year of early 2000s

Looking into the future, a sudden jump in the figure for elderly people is measured for Japan, with a
climb of over 20%, and reach a peak at around 27% according to the prediction given over the phase of
10 years from 2030 to 1040. By 2040, it is thought that the figures for Sweden and USA will be a little
lower, at over 15% and 23% respectively.
The graph below shows trends in US meat and poultry consumption.

The line chart gives information about changes in the tendency of Per Capita consumption of beef,
broiler, pork, and turkey in America between 1955 and 2012.

It is noticeable that beef was by far the most mainstream of four different types of meat for the primary
of the first 57-year-period. However, a considerable climb can be seen in the consumption of broilers,
which figures eventually surpass those for beef and pork

Between 1955 to 1976, US beef consumption rose from nearly 60 and reached a peak at approximately
90 pounds per person. Meanwhile, the consumption of broilers also went up, to nearly 30 pounds per
person during the same period, whereas the figures for pork fluctuated between 40 and 50 pounds per
person. Turkey was by far the least popular meat, with figures all below 10 pounds per capita each year

By the year of 2012, the amount of beef consumed by the American people had plummeted to precisely
50 pounds. Nevertheless, the consumption of broilers had doubled since the 1970s, to exactly 55
pounds per capita. By contrast, there were no remarkable changes in the trends for pork and turkey
consumption over the period as a whole.
