The provided line diagram offers a comparative analysis of the size of the population, accompanied by the percentages of birth and death in the United Kingdom and Wales during the period from 1700 to 2000.
A general overview reveals that the amount of the population increased gradually; meanwhile, the birth and death rates experienced a downward trend over the given time frame.
Focusing on the trend of population size, initiating at 2 million in 1700, the data increased by 8 million in the next 5 decades, before decreasing to roughly 3 million in 1800. Afterwards, it represented a dramatic increase, with a commendable 50 million in 2000.
Nevertheless, the figures for birth and death observed a stark difference. Particularly, in terms of birth rate, after climbing from 30% in 1700 to 40% in 1750, it had leveled off until 1800. Subsequently, although it exhibited a significant fall to roughly 20% in 1950, it rapidly made an impressive rebound to about 35% in 2000. By contrast, commencing at 25% in 1700, the death rate also grew up to about 35% in 1750 and leveled off in 1800, which was double the 20% of the death by 2000.
