The given bar chart illustrates the percentage of households in various income groups that had access to the internet in a European country from 2007 to 2019.
Overall, it is clear that internet access increased for all income groups over the years. High-income families had the highest percentage of internet access throughout the period, while low-income households had the lowest.
In 2007, around 90% of high-income group households had internet access. This figure gradually increased and reached about 98% by 2019. Middle-income households started at around 60% in 2007, and this number rose steadily to nearly 90% by the end of the period. On the other hand, the low-income group had the least access to the internet, starting from only about 30% in 2007. However, the percentage increased significantly and reached around 65% in 2019.
There were noticeable differences in access between the income groups. The gap between high-income and low-income households remained wide, although all groups showed improvement. The middle-income group stayed in between the other two categories during the whole time.
In conclusion, while internet access became more common in all income groups, the inequality in access between high- and low-income households still remained in 2019.
