The line graph illustrates the changes regarding the birth and death rates in New Zealand from 1901 and the projections until 2101.
Overall, the birth rate and death tolls both witnessed increases over the period shown. It is interesting to note that the number of children born was much higher than the number of people dying, but it is anticipated that the former will surpass the latter in the future.
If we look at the first half of the period, the birth rate recorded started at 20, 000, which was slightly more than double that of the death rate. After that, despite pretty wild fluctuations, this figure accelerated to just under 50, 000 in 2001. Meanwhile, there was a gradual rise in the death rate, escalating to under 30, 000 in the same year.
Regarding the second half of the period, unlike the previous time, the death rate is set to experience a steady fall, dropping to over 40, 000 in 2101. By stark contrast, predictions show that the birth rate will soar, overtaking its counterpart in 2041 before reaching a peak of nearly 60, 000 in 2101. This meant that the number of people passing away will be close to 20, 000 higher than the number of children born at the end of the period.
