The line graph illustrates data about the number of births and deaths in New Zealand from 1901 to 2101.
Overall, even though the number of people born has exceeded the count of dead from 1901 to now, it is expected the number of death rates will surpass birth rates in New Zealand by 2041.
In the year 1901, the proportion of deaths in New Zealand was roughly 9000 and experienced a 12000 increase until 1961 and became about 21000. After 1961, it saw ups and downs but generally increased to approximately 28000 by 2001. Then it is expected that the number of deaths will dramatically skyrocket to the number of 60000 and will pass the number of births in 2041. Next, it is predicted to remain steady between around 55000 and 59000 by the end of the period.
Meanwhile, there were 20,000 births in New Zealand in the beginning of the period. After this period, counts of birth saw an upward trend and hit the highest point in 1961, with about 65000 individuals born in New Zealand. Since then, the number of people who come to the world in New Zealand has witnessed a decline by now. It is predicted that this trend will continue by the end of the period.
