The bar chart illustrates the percentage of British donors who gave money to charity categorized into 5 different age groups in 1990 and 2010.
Overall, there was a decline in the amount of money donated by British people at the younger age groups (18-25, 26-35 and 36-50), while the opposite was true for the olders. It is also evident that the figure for 18-25-year-old money givers was the lowest over the reported timeframe.
Commencing with the age groups with higher donation rates, the percentage of people aged 36-50 and over 65 in 2010 and 51-65 in 1990 spending money on charity in this country were relatively equal at around 35%. The figure for money donated by the oldest age bracket witnessed the least change, which increased slightly from over 30% to around 35% between 2 years.It also can be seen that, in 1990, the36-50-year-old people was the group that donated the most amount of money, but then, the 51-65 age bracket took its position after 20 years.
Moving to the other groups with smaller statistics, the percentage of donors aged 18-25 giving money to charity decreased by approximately three times from over 15% to roughly 5% over the examined years. Similarly, the figure for the 26-35 age bracket witnessed a considerable reduction from more than 30% to under 25% between 1990 and 2010. These had shown a big difference in the giving habitats of the young generation and the old generation.
