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. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The given graph provides clear data concerning the

population

of several Asian countries between 1970 and 2020

along with

projections for the other two decades.

Overall

, the

rate

of

population

in all given areas saw a gradual increase over the course of a given period and

this

trend is expected to be continued till 2040. In terms of Malaysia and Indonesia, they started with around 30% and 12%, respectively. By 1990 onward, these two countries saw a considerable increase in terms of the percentage

rate

of

population

and it's expected that

this

trend will continue until 2040 (around 85% and 62 %, relatively). With regards to the

Philippines

and Thailand, the

population

rate

of the

Philippines

in 1970 was quite more than 30 %,

whereas

Thailand's was around half the

rate

of the

Philippines

in the same year. After seeing fluctuations in the

rate

till 2020, the

population

in the

Philippines

,

according to

projections, will rise steadily and end the year with notably more than 50 %.

However

, Thailand's

population

rate

will increase considerably from 2020 onward, reaching roughly 50 % in 2040.
