The world’s oldest country
The country with the oldest population in the world is Japan. Some people in Japan live to be 112! About
25% of Japan’s population is over 65, and around 55,000 people are 100 years old or more. The average
age of the population is 47 years old. Scientists say that Japanese people often work in groups, so they
have friends. People with good friends are generally happy. Many people in Japan eat well, scientists
say, with fish and vegetables, and drink tea and water. 66% do exercise. Japan’s climate isn’t hot or cold.
Families are small but relationships in the family are good.
The world’s youngest country
The country with the youngest population in the world is Niger. People speak French in Niger and the
country’s capital city is Niamey. Africa’s people are young in general, but in Niger the average age is
fifteen. It’s a very hot, dry country, but most people work in agriculture. 21% live in towns or cities. 49%
of Nigerians are under fifteen; many families have seven children. When there are a lot of children in a
country, you have a problem – no money for schools. Over 71% of the population can’t read.
