The statistic displays the results of a survey conducted by Ipsos of estimated and actual World Bank projections of the share of people who will be aged 65 years and older by 2050 in the Netherlands and Belgium in 2018.
The survey results show that as of 2018, survey respondents in both the Netherlands and Belgium estimated that over half of their population would be aged 65 years or older by 2050, while the actual World Bank estimated were significantly lower, at just over 25 percent.
