The line graph illustrates the number of births and deaths in a particular European country over a century(from 1950 to 2050).
Overall, the death rate changed slightly, while the birth rate fluctuated moderately and shrank over the period given.
The average number of babies born in 1950 was just under 800.000. This was followed by a swift increase over the next two decades, peaking at one million births in 1970. However, an upward trend was not to continue as the figure abruptly dropped by about 400.000 in 1990, making the death rate higher than that of birth: the situation stabilized by 2010. Estimates show that the birth rate will be lower than the death rate starting from 2030 until 2050.
With regards to the death rate, the figure maintained rather the same level(around 650.000). However, it is anticipated that the death rate will go up steadily from 2030, reaching 800.000 deaths in 2050, which creates a situation in which there will be more deaths than births.
