Band 6+: The chart below shows the movement of people from rural to urban areas in three countries and predictions for future years. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The line chart illustrates the number of people moving from rural to urban areas in Iran, Indonesia and Russia, with prediction for the future.

Overall, the biggest number of people who moved to cities can be seen in Iran and Russia, with only increasing number in the future. Whereas, in Indonesia this number remained steady, and did not show any significant changes.

As it can be seen from the chart, in 2000, all three countries had similar rates of people who changed their place of residence. In Indonesia it was 10 millions, for Iran and Russia it was just under 10 and around 15 millions, respectively. A significant change occurred in 2010, when Iran surpassed Indonesia with a number of around 35 millions people who have relocated their place of home.

Not only did indexes of relocated people increased dramatically in Iran, but it also could surpass Russia in 2020. Numbers of these two latter mentioned countries expected to be about 95 and just under 90 millions, respectively. Indonesia showed minor changes, and rose up to 30 millions in 2020. However, it is predicted that indexes will remain the same in 2025.
