The table illustrates the population size and change rate of four various parts across the world (Australia, Japan, Europe, and North) between 1950 and 2000, then shows the populaiton sizes and change rates being predicted between 2000 to 2050.
Overall, change rates for Australia was the highest from 1950 to 2000, although the populations size of this country was the lowest in the same period. The change rate of North and Australia will be almost eaual and the most from 2000 to 2050. As can be seen, Europe had the largest population size in both 50-year periods. Moreover, the change rates of all areas will decrease by 2050, and those of Japan and Europe will become negative.
Regarding the change rates, Australia experienced the highest change rates in both periods, 141.5% in the first period and 44.9% in the latter one. The change rate for North will be also high from 2000 to 2050, which will be 44.2%. The change rates for Japan and Europe will fal dramatically, from 59.7% to -30% and from 30.7% to -6.3%, respectively between 2000 and 2050.
Meanwhile, the population sizes of Australia was the smallest from 1950 to 2050, being 8.2% in 1950,19.8% in 2000, and 28.7% in 2050, whereas Europe represented the largest population size during this 100-year period, accounted for 547% in 1950, 715% in 2000, and 672% in 2050.
