These two pie charts show the differences between two groups of Canadians (25 to 35 and 45 to

55 year olds) in terms of their post-school qualifications.

The first point to note is the huge increase in the number of people with qualifications. The younger
group is more than two times bigger than the older group (515,600 compared to 213,400).

Comparing the two groups, Humanities and Nursing have experienced an increase in popularity
with older graduates; Nursing rose by 4%. However, the biggest gain was made by engineering,
which increased from 9% to 19% of the whole.

Some subjects were more popular with the younger age group. The biggest loss in graduate
numbers were to Science, Maths and Computers which, as a group, have decreased by 8%.
Administration has declined by 4%.

To sum up, the graphs show a more than twofold increase in the number of graduates. The most
noticeable change in subject percentages is the increase in the number of engineering graduates.
The bar chart shows the Internet Usage measured by percentage in four age groups over 2
years, from 1998 to 2000 in Taiwan. It can be seen that the internet usage of the 16-30 years
old and the 31-50 years old are showing a downward trend, while the percentages of the
under 15s and the 50+ age group are increasing considerably over this period. Internet was
popular amongst people from 16 to 50 years old. In 1998, there was 94% of Taiwan people
at the ages from 16 to 50 used Internet. This number decreased dramatically over the years,
from 94% in 1998 to 84% in 1999 and finally reached a plateau of 81% in 2000. Internet
users from 31 to 50 years old declined gradually by 2% each year, while the number of
internet users from 16 to 30 years old showed a sharp fall by 8% from 1998 to 1999.
However, the sum of these two age groups still remained at the highest percentage in Taiwan
population. The under 15s and the 50+ age group showed little interests in Internet, especially
in 1998 when there are only 6% of Taiwan population at these age groups who used Internet.
This number increased sharply by more than one and a half times in 1999, from 6% to 16%.
This can be easily explained due to a major drop in the Internet users in the 16-50 years old.
In 2000, the number rose again by 2%, reached a peak of 19% of Taiwan population.
The pie charts show a significant comparison of age groups in Oman and Spain. Initial statistics
are concerning 2005, and predictions about the ages of the populations have been made in 2055.

It is apparent from the charts that the people who were under 14 years consisted half of the population of Oman
in 2005. A negligible 4% of the population were between 15-59 years. And, another half, which is 49%, was covered
by 60+ people. However, the next half-century is assessed to bring staggering alteration of dominant positions in
Oman population. Proliferation from 48% to 57% can be cited as an example that will make 60+ years old Oman
people prevalent in 2055. While 15-59 years will see a slight increase to 6%, those who are 0-14 years will decrease
in population to 37%.

On the other hand, in 2005, 62% of Spanish people were 60+. Predictions about that status illustrate
no significant alterations in the dominance of age groups.

Overall, it is important to note that, in 2055, the proportion of people under 14 will slide away in both countries.
However, this trend will cause middle-aged people to take over the dominant position solely in Oman.
The charts depict why students at different ages study and also give information about the support (time off
or financial aid) they receive from their employers.

Overall, it is evident that young people (under 40 years) study because of their career prospects while the
majority of older people study because of their interest. With regard to motivations, the majority of people
under 40 years study in order to promote their career, although this attitude varies depending on the age of
polled people. To start with, 80% students under 26 years express that they would study because of career
preparation while just 10% study for interest in subjects. In older cohorts, 70% of 26-29 years old students
and 58% of 30-39 years old students say that career plays an important role, while in the group of 40-49,
career and interest are similarly important. People over 49 mainly study because of interest (70%).
Regarding support they receive from offices, approximately 62% of interviewees under 26 years say that
they get support from their employers whereas the majority of students being older than 25 do not receive
much help from their companies.
The bar graph illustrates the number of people, from both genders, who attended
different evening courses (Drama, Painting, Sculpture, and Language) in 2009 at
an adult education centre, while the second graph, the pie chart, gives the
proportion of these participants based on their age group.

As an overall trend, more women took those evening courses than their male
counterparts. Sculpture course was least popular but more men took this course
than women. In addition to that, we can observe that the highest ratio of these
participants was in their fifties or over.

Starting with the bar graph, the number of females who got enrolled in both Drama
and Language courses were respectively 20 and 40, and it was twice the number of
males who attended the same courses. That trend changed in Sculpture course, as
10 men attended the course compared with only 5 women.

In the pie graph, we can notice that 42% of the participant are 50 years old or over,
which was the highest percentage among other age groups. In contrast, only 5% of
people who are under 20 years old attended such evening courses at that centre.
The pie charts illustrate the ages of people employed in the UK public sector during two years, 2015 and
2020. Overall, while the percentage of those employed in their 20s and 40s increased, employment for
other ages groups, particularly the over 50s, fell.

Turning first to the younger age groups, although the employment of workers under 21 actually fell from
14% in 2015 to 12% in 2020, the overall percentage of workers under 30 actually rose because of the surge
in employment of 21-30 year olds, which increased significantly from 23% to 33%. Similarly, the
proportion of employees over the age of 40 climbed from 19% in 2015 to 28% by 2020.

However, other groups saw quite significant falls in employment. For 31-40 year olds, the employment
figure plummeted from 21% in 2015 to just 11% by 2020, which represented a substantial drop of more
than 50% in relative terms. Likewise, the employment of over 50s declined, though not by quite so much,
standing at 23% in 2015 and 16% in 2020.
The given line chart details the percentages of people attending concerts from 2010
to 2015 across various age groups. Looking from an overall perspective, it is readily
apparent that all ages showed increasing trends except for 55-64 and that younger
people tended to go to concerts more often. 52% of those between the ages
of 45 and 54 went to concerts in 2010, leading all age brackets, but there was a dip
to 40% in 2011 which allowed the 16-24 group to rise 15% to 55% and lead all
concert-goers. From there, both groups increased with broadly similar trends as the
16-24 year olds had risen to 70% by 2015 and the former group had grown to 54%.

The 25-44 and 55-64 groups showed inverse trends with the former group dipping
from 40% in 2010 to a low of 30% in 2013 before sloping upwards to nearly 50%
by the end of the period. The latter group rose steadily from a starting point of 20%
to intersect with the younger group at 30% in 2013 and then fell to just over 20% in
2015. The final group, aged 75+, doubled to 20% in the first year, had surrendered
those gains by 2013, before undergoing a stable increase and reaching 20% to finish
the period.
The bar graph compares the popularity of six activity clubs between two adult age groups at a
particular leisure center.
OR
The bar graph provides information about how two age groups participate in six activity clubs at
a particular leisure center.

One striking feature of the data is that the photography, fitness, and music/dance clubs are popular
with both older and younger people. By Contrast, the cycling, arts and crafts, and gardening
activities clearly appeal more to one of the age groups. The cycling club has the greatest number
of 25-35 year-olds, but it is one of the least popular clubs with the older age group.

This trend is closely followed by the arts and crafts club which has 60 young members in
comparison with only 20 from the 55-65 age bracket. In the gardening club, the pattern is reversed.
There are about 55 members aged between 45 and 55 while the proportion of young participants
is considerably lower. Notably, the composition of fitness and music/dance clubs is quite balanced,
but there are slightly fewer older members. The membership of photography club stands at 45 for
both groups.

In general, it can be concluded that some clubs attract both young and old people. Nonetheless,
overall, the younger age group is significantly more involved in various activities than the 55-65
year-olds. (220 Words)
The bar chart shows the percentage of Canadians who made online purchases in 2014 and 2018;
the data was divided between 6 age groups.

Online shoppers started young with 1 in 5 of 15-25-year-olds completing online transactions in


2014. This percentage rose to around 33% for the 26-35 age group, before dropping about 5% for
each successive age bracket. By the time shoppers reached the age of 45-55, only 22% were
shopping online. This ratio then halved for 55-65-year-olds and halved again for pension aged
shoppers. By 2018, the number of active online shoppers had increased by around 3% for the first
two age groups. There was a more significant rise for 35-45-year-olds, who saw an increase from
27 to 38%. Thereafter, the increase for those aged 45+ rose by around 5% compared to the 2014
figures.
Overall, the percentage of those purchasing through browsers rose for all age groups over the
period. The numbers peaked with the 26-35 age group in 2014 and for the 36-45-year-olds in 2018.
The line graph below illustrates the percentage of China’s population between 1960 and 2020 and
an anticipated proportion by 2050 by the different age groups.

Overall,all graphs are predicted to increase, except for the age group between 0 and 14 years.

With regards to the population aged 0–14, the figure formed slightly more than 37% in 1960,
which showed the highest percentage among the other age
groups. Further,this index increased markedly and it is anticipated to account for almost 17.5% in
2050.

Turning to populations between 15 and 64 and 65+, the former started at around 35% before
increasing noticeably in 2050. Likewise,the letter stood at almost 3% after that it is predicted to
grow significantly to around 25% by 2050.

In conclusion,the population in China aged 0-14 years is expected to decline,however,the other


two groups are supposed to rise by 2050. In 2050, the percentage of people aged between 15 and
64 is predicted to form more than 52.5%.
The four pie charts give the proportions of three different age groups in 2000, and a forecast for
2050 in Yemen and Italy. Overall, Italy had an older population than Yemen in 2000, and both
populations are predicted to age in the future.

In 2000, in Yemen, over half the population was aged 0-14, and 46.3% of the population was aged
from 15 to 59. The smallest proportion was the over 60s, who accounted for just 3.6% of the
population. Turning to Italians, the highest percentage was 15-59 year olds. Those over 60 were
24.1% of the population, which was more than six times higher than it was in Yemen. The smallest
percentage was for the youngest group at 14.35%.

Turning to the forecast for 2050, in Yemen, the largest group is expected to be those aged 15-59
at 57.3%. This is followed by forecasts for the youngest group at 37%, and the oldest group at
5.8%. For Italians, the highest percentage is for those aged 15-59 years at 46.2%. This is followed
by the over 60s at 42.3%, which is almost double the level in 2000. The youngest group accounts
for only 11.5% of the population. [197words]
The bar chart delineates the ratio of pupils who continue their education for the benefit of their career and
from passion based on their age groups. The line graph reveals the ratio of support those students get from
their companies as a form of financial support and time off. Overall, young students’ main focus for
education is their job while it is mostly passion when they grow older.

To illustrate, eight of ten people under 26 years old continue education for their career. Only 10% of them
do it from passion. Interestingly, the higher the age, the more eager they become to study for personal
interest, not for professional reasons. Seven out of ten people who are at least 50 years old study for interest.
Finally, these two factors equally motivate people from 40-49 years old to further their learning.

The second diagram shows that young employees who are less than 30 years old get more backing from
their employers while the least support is expected for workers between 30 to 39 years old. However, it is
interesting to notice that employers are more sympathetic to workers over 40 years old than they are to
employees in their thirties.
The bar chart shows different club activities undertaken by people within two
different age groups in a small city’s leisure centre. The club activities include
gardening, photography, fitness, arts and craft, music/dance, and cycling.

In general, the club with the highest attendance is the cycling club which has about
65 members within the age group of 25-35 years whilst having 10 members within
the 55-65 age group making it to be the club with the highest and lowest club
membership.

Following the cycling club with the second highest and second lowest members
joined, in general, is the arts and crafts club having 60 members of the 25-35 age
group and 20 members of the 55-65 age group joined respectively.

The gardening club has about 26 members of the 25-35 age group joined which
turns out to be the lowest of that age group but has the highest number of the 55-65
age group members. The fitness and music/dance club both have an equal number
of 50 members of the 55-65 age group. Finally, the photography club turns out to
be the only club
The line chart details figures for cinema attendance across various age demographics
in the United States between 2000 and 2011. Looking from an overall perspective,
it is readily apparent that attendance increased for all groups, with younger people,
especially teenagers and young adults, watching movies the most often. As people
got older, they tended to go to the cinema less frequently.
Those aged 15 – 24 began the period with 15% going to the cinema, a narrow lead
over the other demographics. This figure then rose steadily to over 30% by 2004,
fluctuated between 35% and 50% for the next several years before finishing at 52%.
In contrast, theater attendance from the age of 35 and up was marginal yet increased
consistently beginning at 1% and ending the period at a high point of 13%.
The trends for 7-14 and 25-35-year-old cinema-goers were similar throughout as the
former began twice as high at 10%. Attendance was then erratic but only slightly up
overall until 2005 when there was a surge to 30%, followed by a high of 38% in
2010 and a final figure of 30% in 2011. The latter group displayed an unstable trend
with comparable percentages, intersected with the aforementioned age bracket
twice, and concluded the period with a partial recovery to an identical 30% figure.
The bar chart illustrates the distribution of expenditures across various categories in the United
Kingdom in 2004.

Overall, the elderly population allocated the majority of their budget to food, drink, and leisure
activities, while younger individuals prioritized dining out and socializing.

Individuals aged 46 to 60 and over 76 spent the most on food and drink, accounting for
approximately 17% and 23%, respectively. They also spent a considerable portion of their
budget on leisure activities, with just under 15% for the former group and approximately 13%
for the latter. In contrast, those aged 61 to 75 spent the most on entertainment activities,
accounting for 23% of their budget, followed by food and beverages, which constituted 20%.
The three groups spent the least on restaurants and hotels, with all spending less than 12%.
Moving on to the spending patterns of individuals aged 31 to 45, this cohort predominantly
dedicated their financial resources to food and hotels, with both categories accounting for
approximately 13%. However, they spent the least on leisure activities, with just under 7%. In
contrast, individuals under 30 prioritized hotels and restaurants, allocating just under 15% of
their budget. This figure was double that of their expenditure on food and drink and
entertainment, which accounted for just over 5%.
The chart compares the proportion of US citizens living alone from 1850 to 2000 in terms of
various age groups.

Overall, it is clear that the percentage of the US population living alone increased over the period
in all age groups. The highest proportion of those who lived alone was among the 55-64 year-olds.

In 1850, figures for three age groups are given. Just over 2% of those aged 37-46 and those aged
47-54 lived alone, slightly less than 3% for the 55-64 age group. In 1900 the proportion of those
living alone in the 37-46 category remained stable, but there were small increases in the figures
for the 47–54 and 55-64 year-olds, compared with only 2% of those aged 17-26.

A new pattern emerged in 1950, with the percentage of those living alone increasing according to
age. The year 2000 then saw a rise in the proportions of people living alone, with the percentage
of the 55 -64 year-olds almost doubling to 17%, ahead of the 47-54 and 27-36 age groups with
13% and 8% respectively. While 5% of the 17-26 group lived alone, the figure was higher among
the 37-46 year-olds at 7%.
The line graph illustrates the importance, measured in percentages, that four ages
groups place on five different factors when they move to a new home. It is
immediately apparent that a low crime rate is the most important variable across all
the age groups.

Of all the factors, the desire for a low crime rate is by far the most important.
Amongst the all the age groups this figure stands at around 80%, with the middle
aged and elderly viewing it as slightly more important. Next, schools are seen as
very important by a significant proportion of 25 to 44 year olds although the
percentages drop markedly as people get older, with just under 25% of 55 to 64 year
olds viewing this as important.

Shopping facilities, being chosen by around 13%, are not viewed with such
importance as schools and crime by the younger age groups. However, as people get
older, this increases in importance to approximately 30%, and, as would be expected,
is actually more important than schools to those over 55. Finally, although increasing
in importance with age, neither parks nor public transport are viewed to be as
important as the other factors by any of the groups.
