The bar chart illustrates population trends globally by percentage from 1950 to 2040.

The line charts show how the population changes between 1950 and 2040 worldwide. The first figure presents the trends for different areas

whereas

the second one represents the details in the structure of the ages in three groups.

Overall

, the urban area is a far more preferred place to live than the rural.

In addition

, the gap between the settlers of those two seems continuously widening until the end of the period. Meanwhile, the productive life groups are dominating in the age structure and the other two age groups are only making up a much lower portion of the total number. Since the year 1950, the urban population has already been higher than the rural

although

both were only made up of less than 10.

In particular

, the number of people staying in the rural area steadily remained below 10 even until 50 years later.

On the contrary

, urban residents stably climb and are projected to reach almost 40 in 2040. In terms of age distribution, both people younger than 15 and older than 65 are starting below 5 at the beginning. But, the difference rose ten years later as the younger one hit slightly above 5

while

the older one dropped to around 2. After that, Both categories more or less held the same number for the following years until the end of the period.

Then

, people aged between those two (15-65) started just above 5 and incrementally grew continuously and are estimated to hit a peak at 35 in 2040.
