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. Summarise the information by selecting and reportion the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The line graph illustrates the proportion of the

population

in four SEA countries comprising the

Phillippines

, Malaysia,

Thailand

and

Indonesia

with ten-year intervals from 1970 to 2020 and projections for 2030 and 2040.

Overall

, it can be seen that Malaysia at the beginning has the most

population

compared to others

while

Indonesia

is the lowest.

However

, with a prediction the

Phillippines

population

reach a peak and

Thailand

will be the

last

place. The

Phillippines

started the period in 1970 at well over 30%,

then

continuously grew to under 50% in 1990. There was a dramatic rise from 1990 to 2020 and it is still going up to just over 80% in 2040. Malaysia came second place with 30% before fluctuating throughout the year 1970 to 2010 which occupied 40%,

then

slightly increased to roughly 50% in 2020. The growth will steadily rise to 55%

at the end

of the period. Both

Thailand

and

Indonesia

had the same trajectory between 1970 to 1990, they were at nearly 30% and 25% respectively. Afterwards, the

population

in

Thailand

hovered at 30% before rising up to almost 50% in 2040.

Additionally

, from 1990 to 2020,

Indonesia

's

population

surged and it will overcome

Thailand

and The

Phillippines

and jump to 60%.
