Bangladesh's rural population increased steadily from 45.55 million in 1960 to 59.36 million in 1970. After 1970, the rate of population growth gradually decreased during the ensuing ten years. And by 1980, only 67.81 million people lived in Bangladesh's rural areas. After 1980, the native population in Bangladesh experienced a large increase for almost 20 years, reaching 97.54 million people in 2000. For the following 20 years, it was seen that the rate of rural population growth began to decline around the year 2000.

This could be caused by a number of socioeconomic problems. Bangladesh's rural population, which was 97.54 million in 2000, climbed to 102.62 million in 2010 from only 5.08 million in the previous ten years. The graph shifts downward around the year 2010, leading to the conclusion that the population of Bangladesh's rural areas. Decreased over the ensuing decade starting in 2010. In 2020, Bangladesh's rural population, which was 102.62 million in 2010, will have decreased, albeit slowly, to 101.82 million.

The rural population of China, starting from 558.98 million in 1960, at first, inclined at a slow pace, and by the next 20 years, it became 791.29 million in 1980.

Then from 1980 to 1990, it again increased to become 835.02 million in 1990. In the case of China, the year 1990 shows the highest figure for the rural population. It was 836.48 million. After this peak point, the graph shows gradual declination concluding that the rural population in China has decreased significantly over the years from 1991 to 2020. There may be various socio-economic or socio-political issues behind this decline. The rural population of China, which was 836.48 million in 1991, declined gradually, during the next 30 years to become 809.65 million in 2000, 679.21 million in 2010, and eventually, the rural population declined to become 861.29 million during the year 2020.

The rural population of Afghanistan, which was 11.22 million in 1980, decreased significantly to become 9.78 million in 1990. Slightly before 1990, the year 1988 shows the lowest point of the graph showing the least number of rural population to be 9.18 million.
