The graph below gives information about the percentage of the population in four Asian countries living in cities from 1970 to 2020, with predictions for 2030 and 2040.
The given line chart demonstrates the
population
that lived in cities rates in the
Philippines
,
Malaysia
,
Thailand
, and
Indonesia
between 1970 to 2020 and
also
anticipates their future rates by 2040. As an overview,
Malaysia
and
Indonesia
figures show a striking increase in their
population
in
this
70-year period.
In addition
Thailand
's
population
not only experienced a massive rise between 1970 and 2020, but
also
it is going to face more growth in
population
in 2040.
In contrast
, Philippine figures show fluctuations over
this
time period. As it can be observable, at the beginning of the time period
Philippines
was the leader in the city
population
rate with approximately 31% and
Malaysia
,
Thailand
and
Indonesia
took part onward with 30%, nearly 18% and close to 15% respectively.
However
, by 2001 not only
Malaysia
had overtaken the
Philippines
, but
also
Indonesia
overtook
Thailand
with roughly 30% of the city
population
.
On the other hand
,
Malaysia
has become the leader in city
population
with a massive difference in percentage number having 25%, 35% and 45% more
population
than
Indonesia
, the
Philippines
, and
Thailand
respectively.
However
,
due to
a huge rise that cities will experience in 2040
Malaysia
,
Indonesia
,
Philippines
, and
Thailand
will have 80%,60%,54% and approximately 50% of their populations in the cities respectively.
