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.
