  A In conclusion, obviously, there is a dramatic increase in the population moving in the time period shown in the chart. You can see that this trend is likely to increase in all three countries. Country C should surpass 100 million in the next few decades. Country B will stay the same during the years of 2020 and 2025 and possibly after this as well. We can also conclude that the population of all three countries will also increase in the future.
