You should spend about 20 minutes on this task. The table below shows population figures for four countries for 2003 and projected figure for 2025 and 2050. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant. You should write at least 150 words.

The table provides data on the

number

of

citizens

in Argentina, Indonesia, Italy and the Republic of Korea in the year 2003 and estimates the population in these countries in the future.

It is clear that

Indonesia was the most populated country in the first year and the amount of people continues to grow and reach a peak in 2050, of 312

million

. South American and Asian countries

also

depict a positive trend. Population figures in Argentina and the Republic of Korea made up 34 and 48

million

relatively in 2003 and they keep rising.

However

, the

number

of

citizens

will account for 52

million

in 2025 and

then

will keep stable. Probing

further

, there is a strong depopulation trend in Italy, where the

number

of

citizens

reduces from 54

million

in 2003 to 45

million

in 2050.

Overall

, the population of non-European countries grow through the years, and the

number

of Italian

citizens

decrease.
