The graph below compares changes in the birth rates of China and the USA between
1920 and 2000.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make
comparisons where relevant.
The figure given shows the birth rates of China and the USA between 1920 and 2000. Clearly,
both rates fluctuated dramatically during this period.
China’s birth rate rose from around 10 percent in the 1920s to 15 percent in 1935. Then it fell
sharply to around 5 percent in both 1940 and 1945. It increased rapidly to a peak of 20 percent in
1950. After this it fell dramatically to less than 10 percent in 1955. Finally, it decrease steadily to
about 2 percent in 1980 and remained at this level until 2000.
Meanwhile, the US birth rate fluctuated at around 12 percent from 1920 to 1940. It decreased
dramatically to under 5 percent in 1945. Next it increased rapidly to a peak of about 15 percent
in 1950. After 1950, it fell gradually to about 12 percent in the 1960s and around 7 or 8 percent
during the last 20 years of this period.
Therefore, although the US birth rate generally higher than the birth rate of China (especially
after 1950), both birth rates followed a very similar trend.
