The bar graph illustrates the relative numbers of birth and death rates between 1975 and 2025.
Over the whole time period, the birth rate grew rapidly decade by decade. A different pattern emerged for the death rate, which initially showed a noticeable increase, then declined significantly from 2005.
In 1975-1985, the birth rate maintained the same level; after this period, it started rising substantially. The difference between birth rates in 1995 and 2005 was 2 million people, which is a really significant growth. Then, the birth rate grew slowly but constantly. By 2025, it reached about 3.5 million people.
At the beginning, when birth rate remained unchanged, the death rate was outweighing it by about 100-200 thousand in 1985. However, because of the unexpected rise of the birth rate, it started falling decade by decade. It never rose after 2005 and dropped constantly. Its highest point was 1.5 million people, and by 2025, the death rate was approximately 1 million people.
In conclusion, in the period of 1975-2025, the death rate was outweighing the birth rate, but it then dropped in steady increments to a low of almost 1 million people. On the other hand, the birth rate jumped from 1 to 3.5 million people.
