The bar chart provides information on the percentage proportion of British people who donate money to charity by age range in two different years (1990, 2010).
In general, the data suggest that the age ranges 36-50 and below show a decrease in donations from 1990 to 2010, and the highest percentage in the graph belongs to 36-50-year-old people in 2010. A significant change can be observed in the 51-65 and over-65 age ranges, which present an increase in the percentage of people giving money to charity.
In detail, looking at the youngest age range (18-25), the rate was around 17% in 1990, then it declined to 7% at the end of the given period. The same trend can be seen in the 26-35 and 36-50 age groups, which, according to the line in 1990, show that the percentage of money given to charity by British people was around 30% and above 40%, decreasing in 2010 to well above 25% and 35%.
In contrast, the data show that the older generation (51-65) donated more than in the previous year (1990), with a 4 percent increase from 35% to 39%. Likewise, the 51-65 and over-65 age groups follow this trend, increasing from 32% to 35%.
