The line graph provides details about the proportion of the population living in cities between 1970 and 2020, with assumptions from 2030 to 2040, for the countries of the Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia.
Overall, the population in these four countries increased in 1990. Initially, Indonesia had the lowest number of people, but by the end, Malaysia’s population is expected to be at the top compared to the other three countries.
In 1970, Thailand and Indonesia had below 20% of the population, and both nations slightly increased from 1970 to 1990. From 2000 to 2020, Indonesia’s population rose approximately 55%. In the future, they expect the population to go up above 60%. However, Thailand did not face significant changes from 1990 to 2020. After 2020, Thailand’s population is expected to increase.
Initially, Malaysia and the Philippines had nearly the same population. After that, both countries’ populations were increasing from 30% to nearly 50%. From 1990 to 2020, Malaysia’s population faced a significant increase. After 2020, they have predicted that the population will be raised above 80%. On the other hand, between 1990 and 2010, the Philippines’ population dropped from 50% to around 42%, then it went up. In 2040, its population is expected to go up to nearly 60%.
