The line graph gives information about the number of midyear citizens in three different nations (China, India, and the USA) over 50 years, starting from 1950. The population figures are measured in millions. It is clear that all three countries experienced population growth, with India and China showing a dramatic rise. Overall, China had by far the highest number of people.
In the middle of the twentieth century, the population of China was around 580 million, compared to India and the USA, which accounted for 380 and 180, respectively. In the next decade, all figures were on the rise, as the Chinese population consisted of approximately 650 million, and 440 million and almost 200 million people lived in India and the USA, respectively. Furthermore, the figure for China accounted for 800 million, whereas barely a half billion of individuals dwelled in India, followed by the US, which was one-fifth of a billion.
By 1980, the growth of the population in China and India was more dramatic and increased to a billion and 0.7 billion, compared to the USA, which consisted of 210. Moreover, the figures for China and India were still the highest, at 1.1 billion and 850 million, although the USA increased to 250 000 000. By the end of the period, the Chinese population was 1.2 billion, and finally, the number of citizens in India reached a billion, while the USA rose by about 10 million.
