The bar charts illustrate the population density and the changes in population in six different countries between 2003 and 2005.
From an overall perspective, it is evident that the population densities of Australia, Canada, and Sweden were significantly lower, while Japan, Italy and the United Kingdom recorded higher numbers. Notably, all the surveyed nations followed an upward pattern, except for Sweden, which had a slight decrease in its population. In addition, the number of people per square km in Australia was the lowest, whereas the percentage change in population in Australia experienced the most significant change among all countries.
With regard to the three leading nations, the number of residents per square km in Japan stayed at the highest level of 338, closely followed by the figure for the United Kingdom at 243 and Italy at 191. In contrast, Sweden’s population density was far lower at 20 inhabitants per sq km, ten times that of Australia, which had the lowest figure, at just 2. Besides, Canada also recorded a significantly low density, at 3 people per square kilometre.
Shifting focus to the remaining bar chart, Australia recorded the most substantial increase, at 1.42%, while Sweden was the only nation to experience a decline, by 0.1% over the period. Meanwhile, ranked at second and third, Canada and Japan grew considerably, at 1.06% and 0.35% respectively. Finally, the corresponding figures for the United Kingdom and Italy were noticeably lower, at 0.25% for the former and 0.11% for the latter.
