The graph below gives information about the percentage of the population in four Asian countries living in cities from 1970 to 2020, with prediction for 2030 and 2040.

The line graph given provides information regarding the proportion of inhabitants living in four different parts of Southeast Asia countries throughout 1970 and 2020,

along with

the forecast for 2030 and 2040.

Overall

, it can be seen that all countries generally experienced an upward trajectory and in the future, the

number

;

, only the percentage of the total

population

in the Philippines had a fluctuation.

of

population
