The given line graph illustrates the

number

of births and deaths that occurred and will be during two centuries from 1901 to 2101 in New Zealand. Overall, it is clearly shown that the Death rate was low at the beginning of the period and gradually increased by the middle of the given time and it is predicted to soar dramatically up,

then

remain stable. While the Birth rate was actually higher in comparison with the Death rate and experienced a

number

of fluctuations,

however

by the end of the period it is likely to decrease slowly. In 1901, the death

number

was almost ten

thousand

and it had continued increasing insensibly during the

first

100 years before it had a drastic rise. In the following years, to be more precisely in 2060, it will reach its peak, which is about sixty

thousand

deaths in a year, and remain the same until the twenty-

second

century. Whilst, In the early nineteen-century

number

of ,births were approximately 20

thousand

and was not stable til the 2000s and reached its highest index in 1961, with more than 64

thousand

births a year.

However

there was decay in 1981 about half a hundred

thousand

,

then

soared up again during the following decade. From the

second

,millennium ut stayed stable, so it is expected to have a slow decrease til 2101.
