The line graph presents data on the proportion of the population residing in urban areas across four Asian countries—Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia—from 1970 to 2020, with projections extending to 2040.
Overall, all four countries have experienced an upward trend in urbanization over the five decades covered, with projections indicating further increases in city-dwelling populations by 2040.
In 1970, the Philippines already had a relatively high urban population percentage at around 31%, which steadily increased, reaching approximately 44% by 2020. The forecast suggests a continued rise to nearly 54% by 2040.
Malaysia started at a lower base of around 30% in 1970 but saw a sharp rise over the years, overtaking the Philippines by 2010 and is expected to approach nearly 82% by 2040.
Thailand and Indonesia began with similar urban population percentages in 1970, around 19% and 14% respectively. However, Thailand's urbanization pace has been more rapid, with the percentage increasing to just under 60% by 2020 and predicted to surpass 70% by 2040. Indonesia, while increasing at a slower rate, also shows significant growth in urbanization, projected to reach about 62% by 2040 from approximately 50% in 2020.
In conclusion, while all four countries show significant growth in urban populations, Malaysia’s rate of urbanization is the most pronounced, suggesting a major shift towards urban living by 2040. This trend underscores the ongoing transformation in the living patterns within these developing nations, reflecting broader global urbanization trends.
