In the beginning,people who aged 65 and over in Sweden and USA were accounted for approximately 7% and 9% respectively, and reached to the same proportion at 14% for both countries in 2000. These trends predicted will remain rising to 25% and about 27% at the last year given.

However, in Japan, only 5% old people was initiated in 1940 and decreased to the next 6 decades to around 3% to 4%, otherwise, in the future the predicted proportion will be dramatically jumping to about 27% in 2040.
