1st Alternative:

The pie charts illustrate the populations of Yemen and Italy based on three age groups in 2000 and 2050.

Overall, the highest proportion of people in Yemen were aged under 14 while most Italians fell into 15–59 age group in 2000. It is predicted that in 2050, populations of both nations will show an increase in the percentage of elderly people.

In 2000, over 60% of citizens in Italy fell into 15–59 bracket, compared to that of Yemen, at roughly 45%. Similarly, the elderly Italians made up approximately one fourth of their population, yet the figure for Yemen was trivial (3,6%). In contrast, a half of Yemen’s population were children, while the data of Italy was significantly lower, with just under 15%.

In the year 2050, the proportion of 15 to 59 year olds in Yemen will be on the rise, to about 57%, while that of italy will drop dramatically by roughly 15%. In addition, it is predicted that the figures for people who will be aged over 60 in Yemen and Italy will both climb by 2.1% and 18,2% respectively. However, the forecast shows that there will be a decrease in the percentages of children in these countries, to 37% and 11,5%.
