The given line graph illustrates data on the alteration in the number of New Zealanders’ birth and mortality over the period of two centuries starting from 1901.
Overall, it is clearly seen that death rates shows a steady increase while birth rates had a level off trend over the period.
In the beginning of the period, the quantity of death rates was approximately 10,000. Then it constantly showed a steady grow until 2001, reaching approximately 30,000. Afterwards, the trend is projected to climb significantly to 60,000 in 2061. Following that we expect the level to be contant until 2101.
As for the birth, in 2101 the rate’s trend was started in marginally above 20.000, in which it then showed a fluctuated increase until 1941. The trend suddenly showed a significant climb to about 60,000 in 1961. Another dip was taken place in 1981 in which the number showed 50,000 birth. In 2001 there was a slight rise to more or less 55,000. The trend is estimated to make a gradual drop to slightly over 40,000 during the remaining year.
