The bar chart compares 5 different age group of British population in terms of financial donation done in the years 1990 and 2010.
It is explicitly observed that charitable activities were prevalent among people in 1990 as compared to those in 2010. Also, it is noticeable that the older adults actively supported the cause than their younger counterparts.
In 1990, around 17% of the younger adults, categorised in the age range of 18-25, participated in the charity which is over twice the percentage of the same category in 2010. The figure almost doubled when the 1990 population falling under the age group of 26-35 is taken into account, whereas, the number rose to about 24% in 2010. The upward trend continued in the following age range, 36-50, with around 42% of British population, which is the highest among all age distribution, actively stepped forward to support the cause while, the figure surged to 35% in 2010 for the same age category.
On the contrary, the figures swapped in the next 2 age categories. While, 35% of individuals in the age range of 51-65 advocated donation in 1990, a skyrocketing figure of around 39% of masses participated in 2010. Consequently, approximately 33% of the population above 65 years of age took up charity in 1990, whereas, 35% of people did charity in 2010.
