Answer 1

Answer:

The graph shows changes in the birth and death rates in New Zealand since 1901 and

forecasts trends till 2101.Between 1901 and 2041, the birth rate has been consistently higher than

the death rate. It stood at 20000 in 1901, at the start of this period and started increasing

gradually after that. It reached to its peak of around 65000 in 1961. Since then, the birth rate has

fluctuated between 50000 and 60000. It is expected to decline in the coming years, reaching

approximately 42000 by 2101.In contrast, the death rate stood at around 10000 in 1901 and has

increased steadily after that. It is expected to rise strikingly from 2021 before leveling off to

approximately 60000 between 2061 and 2081. The graph indicates a slight decline in deaths in

the year 2101.The graph shows a huge gap between birth rate and death rate from 1961 to 2001.

However, this gap is expected to reduce in the later years. Overall, as opposed to the prevailing

trends, the death rate will be reversed and will be more than the birth rate in the later part of this

century.

Answer 2

Answer:

Overall, it is clear that though the birth rate was more increased in New Zealand till now, in the future, the trend is set to invert.

Explanation:

It is explicit from the chart that in 1901, the birth rate stood higher than the death rate, and this was just over 20 per 1000 population when compared to more periodic than 10 in point of deaths. By around 1965, the birth rate increased to over 65, which was the highest ever registered in the provided period. Then after the rate is seen to fall irregularly, and at present, it is just over 50 per 1000 individuals. On the other hand, the death rate established almost a gradual increase to reach around 30, by this time.

Turning to the estimation of deaths, it is predicted to rise further and would overtake the rate of births by 2041. It would be the most increased in both 2061 and 2081 (almost 60 per 1000) and is projected to settle at about 55 by the end of the duration. At the same time, the birth rate is expected to slip further and would ultimately settle by about  45.
