The graph gives information about the age of the population of Iceland between 1990 and 2020.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The given bar graph presents the number of residents who lived in Iceland from 1990 to 2020 and divided into five different
groups
of age. As can be seen from the bar chart, people from 25-54 had an upward trend,
while
the
group
between 0-24 showed a downward trend.
However
, the two older
groups
did not have obvious fluctuations. It is evident that the

aged 25-54 was the only
group
that had growth, rising from around 31% to its peak at almost 50% in 10 years.
On the contrary
, the number of people between 15-24 fell gradually from above 20% to a low of about 7%.
Similarly
, the
group
between 0-14 declined slowly from 25% to 18%.
On the other hand
, the percentages for another two older
groups
remained comparatively steady throughout the period, both
groups
stayed around 10% to 15%. We can conclude from the bar graph that the birth rate declined and Iceland was gaining more working-age population.
