The graph gives information about the percentage of the population if four different Asian countries living in cities between 1970 and 2020 with additional predictions for 2030 and 2040.
The line graph describes the changing
city
population
in four Asian countries in percentages from 1970 to 2020, with projections for 2030 and 2040.
Overall
, it can be seen that there has been a significant rise in the percentage of the population
residing in cities in all four countries, and this
increase is expected to continue into the future. Malaysia
emerges as the frontrunner with the highest proportion of city
residents compared to the others; however
, Thailand
has the lowest population
.
In 1970, the number of residents who lived in Malaysia
and the Philippines stood at approximately 30% of the total population
. By 2020, Malaysia
had experienced substantial growth, reaching almost 80% of the total population
, while
the Philippines had fluctuated between 30% and 50%. Thailand
had nearly 20% of its population
in cities in 1970, whereas
Indonesia had about 15%. On the other hand
, Indonesia's city
population
had grown rapidly, surpassing 50% by 2020; in contrast
, Thailand
had reached roughly 30%.
Looking ahead, projections indicate that the city
's population
in all countries will show upward growth. By 2040, it is predicted that Malaysia
will have the highest percentage of city
residents at over four-fifths, followed by Indonesia at around two-thirds. The figures for the Philippines and Thailand
are predicted to be more than half and half, respectively.Submitted by maryam.veiszadeh on
