The graph and chart illustrates information about feelings of happiness in life. The graph and the chart both show happiness and satisfaction experienced by people at different age groups. Overall, these illustrations indicate that happiness reaches the lowest point at the middle ages and rises in the older ages, both for male and female, although they shift in causes of happiness from money to health at the latest ages.
The line graph compares levels of satisfaction at different age ranges. The graph shows male slightly higher satisfaction than females in the 15-20 age group (5.5 compared with 5.3). Satisfaction for both genders eventually equals out in the 21-30 age group, then gradually decreases, reaching an all time low in the 41-50 age group at approximately 5.0. From that point, scores rise for both male and female up until the 61-70 age group, where they reach the highest level of happiness at a score of 5.6. All in all, the graph follows a similar pattern between male and female, proving minimal gender gap.
The bar chart reveals factors that make people happy throughout different age groups. Across younger age groups (15-24 and 25-34), money is a dominant factor on behalf of their happiness, with over half the respondents selecting it over health. However, this pattern slowly shifts throughout the age groups with money slowly becoming less important, dropping to below 10%. Concern about health starts to be significant in the 55-64 age group, peaking at around 45% in older age groups (65-74 and 75+). This trend indicates that financial concerns shift to health priorities as people grow older.
