Japan
, Sweden, USA over a period of 101 years from 1940 to 2040.

, it is clear that

is estimated to be responsible for the highest climb.

took up the second and third percentages which were 7% and 5% respectively. After 40 years, both the USA and Sweden observed a gradual growth and reached approximately 15%. In contrast
, Japan
saw a smooth decline and remained under 5%.
