- Go to: https://www.census.gov/data-tools/demo/idb/informationGateway.php
- Select the country (Japan or Argentina) and select YEAR 2018
- Find and report the following information on the populations using any of the relevant drop-down menus.
Note: This will require you to do some tabulations/calculations.
For YEAR 2018:
a. # centenarians
b. Proportion aged 65+
c. Aging index - Repeat above for the second country
- Report on what you found and compare and contrast the two populations based on what you found. How
would you know if these populations are showing population aging currently or a trend of population aging over
time? What indicators could you look at? What types of priorities do you think the government of these
countries are potentially most focused on?
