The given illustration depicts the changes of demographic trends over seven decades in Scotland and also gives the prediction for the year 2020. The survey has been taken from 1940 to 2010 on three criteria, namely: birth, population growth, and death.
Initially, fertility and mortality have reached their peak in 1940, whiles population growth reached its highest percentage in the second decade. It was about 2. 5% birth rate in 1940 and then it declined sharply over five years. After a further decline, it fluctuated roughly twenty years. There was a peak in 2000 after falling gradually from 1960's by roughly 1. 0%. It predicted that about 0. 5% fertility in 2020.
The chart shows that there is a relationship between fertility and population growth by its trend. The dip, peak, and fluctuation are shown in the same decade, in which, the percentage of population growth always lower. On the other hand, it’s declined sharply and reached to zero growth in 2000's so that could not be predicted for 2020. The death rate went down steadily from 1940 to 1950s and then levelled off till 1970s by roughly 0. 5%. After felt slightly in the last 1970s, it remained the same over the following thirty years. However, its number will rise in 2020 by over 0. 5%.
In short, the trends of three categories are decreasing over seven decades and only the mortality rate is expected to be increased in 2020.
The

illustration depicts the
changes
of demographic trends
over
seven decades in Scotland and
also
gives the prediction for the
year
2020. The survey has
been taken
from 1940 to 2010 on three criteria,
namely
: birth,
population
growth
, and death.
Initially
, fertility and mortality have reached their peak in 1940, whiles
population
growth
reached its highest percentage in the second decade. It was about 2. 5% birth rate in 1940 and then it declined
sharply
over
five years. After a
further
decline, it fluctuated roughly twenty years. There was a peak in 2000 after falling
gradually
from
1960's
by roughly 1. 0%. It predicted that about 0. 5% fertility in 2020.
The chart
shows
that there is a relationship between fertility and
population
growth
by its trend. The dip, peak, and fluctuation
are shown
in the same decade, in which, the percentage of
population
growth
always lower.
On the other hand
, it’s declined
sharply
and reached to zero
growth
in 2000's
so
that could not
be predicted
for 2020. The death rate went down
steadily
from 1940 to 1950s and then levelled off till 1970s by roughly 0. 5%. After felt

However
, its number will rise in 2020 by
over
0. 5%.
In short, the trends of three categories are decreasing

only
the mortality rate is

to

in 2020.
