Sample Answer:
The line graph illustrates the percentage of senior citizens of Japan, Sweden and USA who are 65 or above from 1940 to 2040.

Overall, it is apparent that the proportion of 65 and over people will rise in all the countries and it is foreseen that Japan will have the maximum percentage of senior citizens by 2040.

In Japan, a slight decrease was seen in proportion of people aged 65 or over in the initial years from 1940 to 1960 before it surged gradually to 10% in 2020. It is predicted that the percentage will witness a steep growth to reach 25% by 2030 followed by a marginal increase to 27% by 2040.
