North America > United States > Age distribution


Age distribution has changed quite dramatically in the US over the past 60 years. Females over the age of 65 out-numbered males by a slight majority in 1950, but by 1990 ratio was almost 2:1 - though US military activity WWII to Vietnam may be responsible. The trend is expected to change with almost 6 million more women 65 and older to men 65 and older in 2008, but just 300,000 more women aged 15-64 to men aged 15-64.

More people over 80. Notice the scale is larger for the 2050 projection.

24th March 2011 		What's the deal with the 2050 projection? Doesn't anybody else notice something weird here? Less people having kids or more people dying?
