The given graph displays changes of number of citizens in industrial developed and developing countries.

For the first two centuries the growth of populations had been approximately equivalent. However, after 1950 number of people in developing countries started to increase rapidly. Meanwhile, since 2000 populace of industrialized nations has not changed at all.

Since 1750 and up to 1950 population in developing countries had been moderately rising from 1 billion in 1750 to about 2.5 millions in 1950. After this year, situation changed significantly, the number of citizens skyrocketed for several times and it seems to quadruple by 2050 and overcome the mark of 10 billions.

On the other hand, trends in industrialized countries were different. In the beginning of 18th century, it was not more than half of billion people leaving in this countries and it took over two hundred years to exceed one billion. Moreover, in 2000 population leveled off and it is highly likely that it won’t be more than 1.5 billion for nearest decades.
