The line graph gives data on how unemployment figures changed in Russia, Japan and China between 1990 and 2010.
Overall, the unemployment rates in China and Russia witnessed upward trends over the period, whereas the opposite pattern could be observed in the case of Japan, declining significantly. It is also noticeable that Japan was the country with the highest level of unemployed people in 1990, but by the final year, China had become the most affected nation by unemployment.
In 1990, half of Russian population suffered from unemployment, a figure which declined to 30% over the next decade. However, this rate had doubled by 2010, reaching 60%. Regarding China, starting off as the lowest at only 10%, the unemployment rate in this country skyrocketed to 50%, which was followed by another, albeit a bit less marked, growth to around 65% over the span.
On the other hand, we can see a completely different scenario in Japan. The percentage of jobless Japanese individuals was in the leading position with 60% initially, and this figure had remained stable until 2000. However, there was a dramatic fall in this percentage, dropping to 20% in 2010.
