TASK 1: The table below shows the total population and the proportion of males and females aged 15
and aged 75 in the UK from 1911 to 2011.
The chart below demonstrates the number of residents in the UK and compares the percentages of two
genders aged 15 and aged 75 over the period from 1911 to 2011. Overall, it is evident that the population
in the UK significantly increased. Additionally, the percentage of young people decreased, while the
proportion of old people experienced a downward trend. Notably, the percentage of females aged 75 was
high in comparison with males, while the figures for the genders aged 15 were opposite.
In 1911, the population of the country was about 36 million, and experienced a rise by 10 million in each
interval. The percent of people aged was approximately 1,8%, before experiencing a steady falling by
0,6% at the end of the period. In contrast, the proportion of people aged 75 exhibited an upward trend
increasing from 0,23% in 1911 to 0,70% in 2011.
The number of both genders aged 15 remained relatively stable at around 330-350 thousand over the
period, but the number of males was slightly higher. The males aged 75 was about 34000 in 1911, and
increased a roughly by 6 times at the end of the period. Whereas, the number of female of the same age
