    The population in Singapore has been increasing.The gap between every decade is increasing over the years until the last decade where the increase is about the same as the previous decade.Compared to 50 years ago, Singapore's population has increased by a lot.I can infer that there may be more foreigners coming to Singapore to support the population size and increase it.Other than my inference, the rest can be observed from the bar graph.

  13. The horizontal axis shows the year, the vertical axis shows the population of Singapore (in thousands).

    An appropriate title to this graph is ''The Singapore Population Over 50 Years''

    The population of Singapore has been increasing greatly these years and it could be due to foreigners (PRS) and others moving into Singapore; the Birth rate is more than the Death rate of people.
