The table illustrates the
population
in 2003 and its expected change in 2025 and 2050 in four countries.
Overall
, the
population
in Indonesia will remain the largest of all being compared
while
that of the other three nations is much smaller. Most countries will experience its growth in the future except for Argentina which shows a gradual rise. Starting with the countries with a rising tendency of the
population
, Indonesia has by far the most dominant
population
with 238 in 2003, from which it continues to rise dramatically to 274 in 2025 and 312 in 2050.
Furthermore
, the number of people in Argentina is
also
expected to increase slightly from 2003 to 2025 with 34 and 48 respectively.
Then
, it will suddenly jump to reach 62 in 2050. Turning to the figures of the Republic of Korea and Italy, even though the former expects a small increase in the
population
from 2003 to 2025 with 48 and 52 respectively, it will remain stable in 2050. Regarding the
population
in Italy, which is the only country with a downward trend, it will drop strikingly from 54 in 2003 to 47 in 2025.
In addition
, it will continue to decline to 45 in 2050,
