This statistic presents the result of a survey conducted in 2018 on the expected size of the elderly population in Italy by 2050. According to data published by Ipsos, respondents greatly overestimated the size of the elderly population estimated by the World Bank, thinking that about 65 percent of the Italian population would be aged over 65 by 2050, whereas the actual figure was 35 percent.
Now thinking about 2050, out of every 100 people in Italy, about how many do you think will be over 65, according to projections by the World Bank?
