A) Task Instructions and Analysis:

Instruction:
 You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.
 The two pie charts below show changes in world population by region between 1900 and
2000. Summarize the information by choosing and reporting the key features, and make any
relevant comparisons.
Analysis of the Task:
 The task involves analyzing a set of pie charts that show changes in world population
between 1900 and 2000.
 Key information includes identifying regions, their population percentages, significant
changes, and trends.
Thinking It Through:
Introduction:
 These pie charts illustrate changes in global population between 1900 and 2000.
 They use pie charts to represent major regions as percentages of the total world population.
Description:
1. Significant Increases:
 The most significant population increases occurred in Africa, which went from 4.5% to 10%
of the world population, and Latin America, which grew from 3% to 8% of the world
population.
2. Greatest Decreases:
 Europe saw a substantial decrease, dropping from 25% to 14% of the world population, and
Asia's percentage declined from 60% to 54%.
3. Regions with No Change:
 North America remained stable at 6% of the world population for both 1900 and 2000.
 The Middle East and North Africa, a new category in 2000, represented 7% of the world
population.
4. 'Others' Category:
 The 'Others' category experienced a slight increase, rising from 2.5% to [insert percentage].
Conclusion:
 In conclusion, the world's population experienced a remarkable growth from 1600 million to 6
billion in just a century.
 This growth was primarily concentrated in developing regions.
B) Filled in Gaps:
Introduction: These pie charts show changes in world population between 1900 and 2000. The
major regions are represented as percentages of the total world population.
Description:
1. Significant Increases:
 Where did the most significant change occur between 1900 and 2000? From 1900 to 2000,
Africa's percentage of the world population increased from 4.5% to 10%, while Latin America
grew from 3% to 8% of the world population.
2. Greatest Decreases:
 Which two areas showed the greatest decreases and by how much? On the other hand, the
percentage of the population in Europe and Asia decreased during the same period. Europe
dropped from 25% to 14%, while Asia's percentage declined from 60% to 54%.
3. Regions with No Change:
  Which regions stayed the same? North America, however, showed no change, remaining at
a constant 6% of the world population in both 1900 and 2000. The Middle East and North
Africa, a new category in 2000, represented 7% of the world population.
4. 'Others' Category:
 What about 'Others'? The percentage of 'Others' in the remaining areas of the world rose
slightly from 2.5% to [insert percentage].
Conclusion: Overall, this represents a huge increase in the number of humans on the planet, from
1600 million to 6 billion in just one hundred years. Most of this population growth has occurred in
developing regions.

Presented for consideration are two pie charts illustrating data as percentages for the
transformation of global population distribution over a period of 100 years.

Overall, this represents a monumental increase in the number of humans on the planet,
skyrocketing from 1.6 billion to a staggering 6 billion in just one hundred years. It is noteworthy
that the lion's share of this remarkable population growth has unfolded in developing regions.

Significant Increases:
Between 1900 and 2000, two regions witnessed remarkable population surges. Africa's portion
of the global population burgeoned from a mere 4.5% to a substantial 10%. Similarly, Latin
America experienced a significant upswing, its share of the world population increasing from 3%
to 8%.

Greatest Decreases:
Conversely, during the same century-long timeframe, Europe and Asia experienced substantial
decreases in their population shares. Europe's slice of the global population pie plummeted
from a substantial 25% to a modest 14%. Meanwhile, Asia, the most populous continent at the
start of the century, saw its share decrease from an imposing 60% to a slightly reduced 54%.

Regions with No Change:

In stark contrast, North America remained remarkably consistent, holding steady at 6% of the
world population in both 1900 and 2000. Notably, the Middle East and North Africa emerged as
a distinct category in 2000, representing 7% of the world's population.

'Others' Category:
The 'Others' category, encompassing various smaller regions, exhibited a modest uptick, rising
from 2.5% to [insert percentage], reflecting shifts in population distribution across the world.
