The graph below shows the percentage of dependents in 2000 and the predicted 
figures in 2050 in five countries, and also gives the world average. Summarise the 
information by selecting and reporting the main figures and make comparisons where 
relevant.
(Dependents: Children below 15 or adults above 65) 
The given column graph illustrates the percentage of dependents (children below 15 or 
adults above 65) in five countries in 2000 and also gives projections for 2050. It also depicts 
the world average in the given two years.
In 2000, India had the maximum percentage of dependents (38%), with Japan, Indonesia and 
China following closely behind with around 34% of dependents. Korea had the least 
percentage of reliant people (22%). The overall world population of children below 15 and 
adults over 65 was 25%.
Looking into the future, an increase in the population of dependents is predicted for 
Indonesia, Korea, China and Japan. In contrast, in India the needy population is thought to 
fall from 38% to 32%. In Korea the population is expected to double by 2050, from 22% to 
44%. Approximately 15% rise in such population is predicted for Japan, whereas China is 
thought to show the least increase (2%). The world average of the dependents is expected to 
go up from about 25% to nearly 42%.
Overall, the percentage of dependents is expected to decrease in India whereas in other four 
countries it is projected to increase.
