The bar graph shows how five different age groups in Canada contributed to charity organizations in 2000 and 2015.
Overall, in both years, Canadians aged 18 to 24 showed the lowest percentage of financial support. However, the highest proportions of two years were recorded by different age groups: 35 to 49 year olds in 2000 and 50 to 64-year-olds in 2015.
The proportion of donors to charities was higher in 2000 in three age groups. Although donors aged 18 to 24 accounted to 20% in the former year, the number almost halved in 2015.
For 25 to 34-year-olds, the gap between two years proportions’ was lower- just under 30% and 20% respectively. In 2000, the figure of 35 to 49 year old people’s donations made up approximately 40%, which was the top percentage of this year. But then there was a drop by around 5% over the next 15 years.
In contrast, other two age groups saw higher figures in the latter year. Around 35% of people aged 50 to 64 supported charitable organizations with money in 2000, the number then rose slightly reaching the highest percentage of 2015 at roughly 37%. Finally, in terms of 65-year-olds and over, there was a small change between periods- just under 30% in 2000 and approximately 35% in 2015.
