The table illustrates the number of urban and rural populations(in millions) in 2010, 2020, 2030, and 2040, while two pie charts show the percentages of four demographic groups for former and latter. The table gives annual rates with projection until 2040.
Overall, counts of city residents will experience growth, whilst that for countryside is expected to decline over years. In terms of pie charts, children were the most populated group in both urban and rural populations.
Regarding the table, there were more residents in the countryside with 3100 million people than in the city with 2500 millions citizens in 2010. However, the data will experience an opposite pattern of change in the following 30 years. In 2020, there were 4300 million people in the city, while the figure for rural showed less population with 3050 million. Additionally, the metropolis is expected to grow to 8900 residents in 2030, being roughly eight times more than the rural population with just 2890 million. Similarly, the figure for 2040 will demonstrate a comparable trend- citizens will be ten times higher than countryside inhabitants.
Turning to pie charts, the children compromise 39% and 43%, presenting the highest percentage records among age categories. By contrast, elderly residents play an insignificant role, taking up 15% and 12% of overall charts, respectively. Considering the women and men, both figures together equal nearly half of the population.
