TASK 1: MULTI-LINE GRAPH----(DT3)-extra N4-FUTURE

You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.

The line graph shows the percentage of New Zealand population

from 1950 to 2050

Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main

features and make comparisons where relevant.

Write at least 150 words.

Task 1:

The line graph depicts New Zealand’s population from 1950

to the present day and its projections to 2050.

Overall, the demographical figures tell us that New Zealand

has an ageing population with the number of people aged
between 35 and 64 and 65+ showing upward trends, with the
former being projected to become the most prevalent group
by 2050. It is also noticeable that the 15-34 group, albeit
dominant from 1950 until the present day, is forecast to go
through a downturn by 2050. (future expressions)
 In 1950, New Zealand’s population aged between 15 to 34
comprised 32.5%, ranking first among/amongst the 4
groups surveyed. This was followed by the figure for the 0-14
group (27.5%), 35-64 (15%) and 65+ (10%). Thereafter, the
15-to-34 age group, despite rising steadily to its high of 45%
in the first half, saw a mild drop to 42.5% in 1990, continued
by another steeper decline to only 30% in 2010. In the
meantime,/Meanwhile, At the same time, the population
aged between 0-14 also showed a steady downturn and
eventually reached 20% in 2010, whereas the two oldest
groups 35 to 64 and over 65 experienced increases, with the
figures amounting to 20% for the former and 15% for the
latter.

By 2050, New Zealand’s population aged 35 to 64 and over 65

will have reached 35% and 20% respectively, with the first
group being predicted to be the major part of the population.
Demographics for the two youngest groups, on the other hand,
are expected to drop, finally constituted a little lower than
30% for the 15-to-34 group and a negligible 10% for the 0-to-
14 group.
