The line graph illustrates the information on how the number of population, birth and death in England and Wales changed over a 300-year period, starting from 1700.
Overall, it can be seen that the number of population and birth escalated over the time in England and Wales, in contrast to death rate, which decreased over the period of time. Additionally, the rate at which people were born, was consistently at the top of death rate in between 1700 and 2000.
Looking at the data sets that increased in more detail, it is discernible that the rate at which people were born was at the top, 30 per 1000 people in 1700. By 1750, it had increased to 40 per 1000 people and then after a few fluctuations over the next 250 years, it ended at 34 per 1000 people in 2000. Regarding size of the population, it began at 2 million in 1700, which went up sharply to 10 million in the next 50 year time period. Afterwards, it experienced a fluctuation until 2000, when it reached the peak of 50 million, therefore, reaching the highest point of population. It is also evident that population size had the greatest increase over the time period shown.
Turning to the remaining data sets that declined, it can be seen that the death rate in 1700 was at 26 per 1000 people, which after some ups and downs dipped to 20 per 1000 people in 1950 and then it had remained unchanged over the next 50 years, by the year 2000.
