The line graph compares birth rates between China and USA and how these rates changed from 1920 to 2000.
Overall, the birth rates of both nations fell dramatically throughout the period. However, it is notable that birth rates in the USA in most years were higher than ones in China.
In 1920, the birth rates of China and the USA started at a nearly similar position at around 10%. Over the next 15-year period, both figures fluctuated constantly before dropping significantly in 1940 and lasted until 1945 with the same proportion at 5%.
The next 5 years witnessed a noticeable growth with China reaching a peak at 20%, four times higher than it was in 1945, and the USA following at 15%. However, between the rest of the period, the birth rate in China hit a trough of approximately 2% while the ones in the USA also declined gradually to 7% by the end of the century.
