The graph below gives information about changes in the birth and death rates in New Zealand between 1901 and 2101. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The line chart detailed above delineates the transformation of
birth
and loss of life rates in New Zealand from 1901 to 2101. Overall
, it is readily apparent that the size of birth
dominated a large proportion in the 20th century whereas
the ratio of death
will probably overtake the childbirth quota in the future.
Between 1901 and the present day, the share of birth
always kept a higher percentage than death
, furthermore
, it hit a high of 66,000in 1961, which had a dramatic increase of nearly 50,000 people
. After 1961, the birth
rate had a slight decline to 50,000 from 1961 to 1981, then
experienced a 10,000 growth until 2001, it is expected to decline slowly to around 45,000 people
at the end
of this
century.
In contrast
, the death
rate started below 10,000 and increase steadily until the present day. After that, it climbed substantially from almost 28,000 people
in 2001 to peak at nearly 60,000 people
in 2061. Before dropping slightly in 2021, the death
rate will probably level off.Submitted by lesley on
