The line graph compares birth rates in China and the US and how these rates changed from
1920 to 2000.
Overall, the birth rates of both nations decreased over the period of 80 years. In addition,
birth rate of the USA was higher than that of China almost all the time surveyed.

In the 1920 to 1935., the birth rate of America fluctuated, although it always remained over
10% stop however, in the following decade, the American birth rate fell sharply to under
5%. In the 1950s, the figure for the USA increased significantly to exactly 15%, reaching the
highest point of its own during the 80-year period. In contrast, there was then a gradual
decline in the US birth rate, which fell to 7% by the year 2000.

Over the period, the birth rate in China varied more significantly than in the US. It dropped
to 5% from 1940 to 1945 before reaching the highest point of the whole line graph, 20%, in
1950. By contrast, five years later, the birth rate in China rapidly decreased by over 10%,
falling to approximately 2% in 2000.
