The column chart depicts the ratio of world population, India, China, USA and Japan from 1950 to

2002, with a prediction for 2050. The vertical axis is measured as a percentage while the horizontal

axis presents the nations.

Overall, it can be seen China was the most populous country, which later steadily declines; however,

this is in contrast to India. The United States and Japan recorded slight decreases, though the number

of American citizens could stabilize in 2050.

In 1950, China recorded the highest figure at 26%，while India was considerably lower at 15%.

America was two-thirds that of India, and Japan at one-third or 5%. However, by 2002 all populations

decreased by approximately 3%, except for India, growing substantially to peak at 19%.

Consequentl, by 2050 it is thought India's population will exceed China's, growing steadily to 21%.

On the other hand, China will drop to 18%, which if true, will be a dramatic fall. Japan's figures are

expected to decrease, but only slighty to 3% while America stabilizes at 13%.
