US Census bureau population estimates for all countries, estimated 2003, and projected for 2050.
Extracts for USA, Germany and France:
2003: USA = 290,342,554 France = 60,180,529 Germany = 82,398,326
2050: USA = 420,080,587 France = 61,017,122 Germany = 73,607,121
2050 (rounded variations over 2003): USA = +130m France = +1m Germany = -9m.
USA demographic profiling: 1) 2002 (using your post as the baseline): 00-14 = 21% 15-64 = 66.4% 65+ = 12.6% 2) 2050 (projected, using NP-P4 "Projected Resident Population of the United States as of July 1, 2050, Middle Series"): 00-14 = 20% 15-64 = 59.5% 65+ = 20.5%
Yes, an aging population on that basis, but also a population with 40% of its population under the age of 30, and ~34% of its population under the age of 25 years (again, based on NP-P4 - Middle Series).
