The bar graph provides an analysis of how many people have access to daily needs (refrigerator, electricity, and water) in Ghana for the years 1991/1992 and 1998/1999. The units are given as percentages.
As an overall trend, it can be readily seen that a high percentage of the population in each poverty group in Ghana had access to water in both years, while the reverse was the case for refrigerator. Additionally, access to electricity was similar to that of water.
As inspection of data clearly shows, a big majority of people in the poor and non-poor classes were able to use water in both 1991 and 1998, while these percentages were diminished for the very poor population. This type of rate change is also suited to the access of electricity for people in Ghana; thus, approximately an average of 80 percent of the non-poor could use electricity, and half of the poor people had access to it.
A closer glance at the data reveals that even not more than a third of the population of non-poor individuals were using refrigerator in 1991 and 1998. Surprisingly, only an insignificant proportion of the poor and very poor populations used refrigerators.
