The given bar graph represents comparative data on numbers of people in 4 countries in percentages in 1950 and 2002 also prediction for 2050.

Overall , the percentages of China and India’s population have always dominated in 1950 and 2002 and as well as for 2050. Regarding the USA and Japan, percentages are significantly lower ( almost 3 times) in all time.

As can be seen China’s figures stand out first even than Indians in 1950 and 2002 ( just over 20% in 1950 and 20% in 2002) . However there is assumption that it would drop in 2005 to 15 % which is moderately lower than Indians in 2050 ( almost 20 %).

In terms of lowest percentages , the amount of people in Japan is nowhere near as high as for China and Indians (highest point 5% in 1950) . Moreover, charts show that it will rapidly decrease and could reach just over 2%. Though in contrast to Japan, Usa’s percentages are considerably larger , it still lower than China and India (just over 5% in 1950 and same 5% in 2002 and 2050)
