The line graph illustrates historical birth and death rates of New Zealand from 1901 until now, as well as the predictions for those rates until the start of the 22th century.
Overall, according to the historical records the birth rate have always been significantly higher than the death rate. In the future, however, number of deaths will surpass the figure for the new born babies.
At the start of the 20th century 8 thousand New Zealand residents died. This figure continued rising gradually in a relatively similar rate, crawling slowly until the end of the 20th century where it stood at nearly 28 thousand. By contrast, the trend for the birth rate was rather interesting. Firstly, it fluctuated between 20 thousand and 30 thousand until late 1930s. Then, the following 20 years witnessed a dramatic rise of around 40 thousand, peaking at approximately 67 thousand. After some fluctuations, this number started declining in the 1990s.
Regarding the future, it is expected that the death rate rise will surge sharply until 2050s before levelling off around 60 thousand. The number of the new born babies, however, will continue decreasing with small fluctuations. As a result, by the time the year is 2041, both rates will have the same value of 48 thousand. Finally, at the end of the 21th century, the birth rate will stand at 42 thousand.
