The image presents demographic trends in Scotland from 1940 to 2020; the birth rate starts at 3.0% in 1940, showing a decline to approximately 1.8% in 1950, remaining below 1.5% until 1970, then continues declining towards 0.6% around 2000, and approaches around 0.9% by 2020; population growth rate begins around 0.5% in 1940, rises to 1.5% in the 1960s, declines back to approximately 1.3% in 1970, continues to decrease, reaching about 0.2% around 2000, and slightly increases near 0.7% by 2020; the death rate starts around 1.2% in 1940, remaining relatively stable until 1960, where it declines slightly to around 1.1%, stays constant through 1980, dips under 1.0% at 1990, and plateaus just below 1.0% up to 2020.

The line graph depicts the population figure in Scotland. Overall, Scotland saw its demographic shrinking, with a low birth rate, decreasing population growth, and higher mortality rates in recent years.
The period from 1940 to 1950 is when Scotland peaked in birth rate, averaging at about 2.5% and mortality rate was on the decline. While the death rate still dropped until 1960, the birth rate in Scotland received its biggest drop, from 2,4% to 1,2%. From 1960 onwards, the birth rate declined slowly, albeit with some minor jump in 1970 and 2000. The death rate in Scotland remained steady through this period, until 2010 when it rose significantly and peaked at 0.6% in 2020.
Population growth strictly followed the pattern of the birth rate. Started at 0.9% in 1940, it peaked at 1.5% in 1954. The pattern continued where it rose slightly in 1970 and 2000, while a a steep decrease. By 2005, population growth had already reached 0%, given the rising mortality rate and dwinging birth rate.
