Task 1
The bar chart gives information about the proportion of financial aid given to charitable organizations by five different age groups over a 15-year period starting in 2000.
Overall, amount of donation given by Canadian younger people registered reduction throughout the period whereas reverse pattern could be observed in older generation. Notably, contributions of two youngest age groups were comparatively lower than other age brackets.
Focusing first on the trends which had upward trend, 20% money was received from the youngest age group in 2000 while people between the ages of 25-34 allocated almost 30% at the same time. However, both figures exhibited drop by 2015, with the figure for the former decreasing to approximately 11%, and the latter to 25%. Similarly, the proportion of financial aid allocated by individuals within the 35-49 demographic made up almost 40%, marking the highest donation in the initial year. Nevertheless, there was slight dip of five percentage points until 2015.
In contrast, two remaining age groups had almost same proportion of donation in 2000. People aged from 50 to 64 spent 34% money which was closely followed by the oldest age group(31%). Until 2015, the amount of money given by people from 50-64 age group rose to roughly 37%. As for the oldest age group, it mirrored this pattern but remained slightly lower reaching 34%.
