The bar chart illustrates the percentage of British citizens who donated money to charity in 1990 and 2010, categorized by age groups.
Overall, charitable donations varied significantly across age groups in both years. The trend shows that younger people donated less over time, while older age groups contributed more in 2010 than in 1990.
In 1990, the 36-50 age group had the highest percentage of donors, with around 42% donating to charity. However, by 2010, this figure had dropped to approximately 35%. Similarly, donations from the 18-25 age group saw a significant decline, from about 17% in 1990 to just over 7% in 2010.
Conversely, the proportion of donors aged 51 and above increased. The 51-65 age group saw a rise from about 35% in 1990 to nearly 39% in 2010. The over-65 group also increased their donations, reaching around 35% in 2010 compared to roughly 32% in 1990.
To summarize, while younger generations became less involved in charitable giving over time, older age groups demonstrated a growing willingness to donate.
