The given line graphs indicate three age groups and the distribution of these people in two areas, urban and rural, over the period from 1950 to 2040. Overall, while there is a significant surge in the number of people who have been and will be living in urban areas, that of rural has and will be expected to be steady over the given time period. Two groups – under 15 and over 65 – almost have the similar trend and have been steady; however, the age group of 15 to 65 has witnessed a dramatic increase.
The number of people in rural areas has seen a slight change and is projected to do the same over the period of 1950 to 2040. In contrast, the number of people living in urban areas has changed significantly and is projected to keep following the same trend until 2040. The total shares are almost alike the trend of urban areas.
Regarding the change in the age groups, despite there being minor changes in both the under 15 and over 65 years age groups, both of the trends are almost the same and comprised of about 5 million. On the other hand, the age group of 15 to 65 has seen and is projected to see an increase, and the number is expected to grow to 35 million people, which was almost 6 million in 1950.
