The G7 countries are facing aging populations in the coming decades. This is especially the case in Italy and Japan, where over 37 percent of the population was forecast to be 65 years or older by 2050. By 2050, all G7 countries are predicted to have a higher share of people above 65 years than people between zero and 19 years. Japan, Italy, as well as Germany already had a higher share of older population than children and youth in 2024.
