Task 1: The graph below gives information about the trends in birth rates among women in six age groups in the UK between 1973 and 2008.
The line graph illustrates how birth rates changed in the UK over a period of 35 years starting from 1973. Looking from an overall perspective, it is readily apparent that birth rates tended to decline as individuals grew older throughout the period in question. Birth rates of those aged from 30 to 35 and 35 to 39 witnessed increases, while the opposite was true for the remaining age groups.
In 1973, the 25 to 29 age cohort recorded the greatest birth rate at 140 per 1000 individuals, followed closely by the 20 to 25 age category at around 128. Over the next twenty years, the former figure displayed moderate fluctuations, reaching a low of nearly 120 births in 1983 and a high of 133 in 1993, while the latter demonstrated a gradual decline to reach about 105. Between 1993 and 2008, the figure for births of those aged from 25 to 29 dipped significantly to end at slightly under 120, whereas the 20 to 25 age bracket continued its steady decrease to finish at 97.
In the first year of the timeframe, the birth rate for the youngest age demographic was significantly higher than the 35 to 39 age group, accounting for 60 and 40, respectively. The figure for births for those aged under 20 fell steadily to end at precisely 40, while births among those aged from 35 to 39 grew slightly to 44 in 1988, before surging to finish the period at 65. In 1973, the lowest birth rate was registered among the oldest age cohort at exactly 20, more than a third lower than the 30 to 35 age group at around 71. These data sets thereafter underwent opposite trajectories, with those aged over 40 dropping moderately to culminate at just 10 and those aged from 30 to 35 increased gradually to reach 87 by the end of the period.
