*A glance at the graph provided differences in the fertility of China and the USA between 1920 and 2000. Both countries had the peak in 1950 and then dramatically fell off. *
*Firstly, it is evident that the birth rate of China fluctuated between 1920 and 1930. Then it sharply rose at 15 percent in 1935 and dramatically decreased to 5 percent in 1940. A short period of stability started from 1940 to 1945. After that, the fertility growth was a peak at 20 percent in 1950 and then, again, fell rapidly about 11 percent in 1955. Finally, it decreased gradually to about 2 percent and remained at this level until 2000. *
*Meanwhile, the birth rates in the USA fluctuated at more than 10 percent from 1920 to 1940. Then, it fell sharply to 5 percent in 1945 and enormously rose to the peak at 15 percent in 1950. Since 1950, fertility gradually dipped until more than 5 percent in 2000. *
*It is interesting to note that, although the two countries followed the same trends, the gap between the USA and China was widened since China slid away in 1950. *Line graph
