The image is a bar chart illustrating the percentage of Canadian donors by age group from 2000 to 2015.
Overall, the chart presents data across five categories: 18 to 24, 25 to 34, 35 to 49, 50 to 64, and 65 and over. A closer examination reveals that the majority of Canadian donors were aged 35 to 49.
By the year 2000, individuals aged 35 to 49 were typically more established in their lives. In contrast, the group with the lowest percentage of donors in Canada was those aged 18 to 24, at around 20%, primarily because they were mostly students. Interestingly, the percentage of donors among people aged 35 to 49 and those aged 65 and over were nearly equivalent.
However, by 2015, the number of Canadian donors experienced a notable decrease compared to previous years. In that year, people aged 50 to 64 emerged as the largest group of donors, accounting for approximately 38%; this category actually saw an increase in donor percentage. Conversely, the 18 to 24 age group experienced a significant decline in donors, dropping by about 11%. Other age categories also demonstrated similar decreases in donor numbers in 2015.
