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 reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The line graph depicts the population

number

and predictions among four countries namely the Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia from 1970 to 2020

as well as

the estimation in 2030 and 2040.

Overall

, all four countries are going to have more citizens from 2020 onwards.

However

, they all faced a fluctuation from 1980 to 2010. Among them, the total citizen

number

in the Phillippines reflects a wide oscillation from 1980 to 2010. Looking through the line graph, starting at nearly 30% in 1970, the

number

of people in the Phillippines increased sharply to approximately 50% in 1990. After that, it went down slightly to around 41% in 2010. In terms of the projection, the country will get more citizens at around 52% of the total

number

of the public in the year 2040.

Likewise

, from 1970 to 2020, Thailand reached its peak at almost 30% in 1990, followed by a stable status until 2020. Dramatically, the population in the nation will rise to double at nearly 50% in 2040. Speaking of Malaysia, it presents a steadily upward trend in the given period,

whereas

it experienced a drop and grew from 1980 to 2000.

Finally

, just like Malaysia, Indonesia

also

remains in a stable situation but a smaller oscillation at 15% in 1980 climbed to 30% in 2000.
