The three bar charts offer a comparative analysis of the proportion of families accessing to fridge, electricity, and private water source in Ghana during the period from 1991 to 1992 and from 1998 to 1999, categorizing into three levels( extreme poor, poor, and medium and rich).
A general overview reveals that over the given time frame, instead people from both three groups utilized electricity most, they did not use fridges much; meawhile, the percentage of private water usage invariably stayed unchanged.
Focusing on refrigerator figures, between 91/92 and 98/99, while extremely poor individuals maintained their habits of using fridges, accounting for 3%, 11% of impoverished households used fridges in 91/92, and this figure decreased by 4% in 98/99. By contrast, in 91/92, the rate of nonpoor families was 24%, which was noticeably lower than that in 98/99, at 37%. The figure for electricity usage represented a marked difference. Particularly, although 48% of very poor families had access to electricity in 91/92, the data experienced a slight fall to 34% in 98/99. Similarly, affluent households in 91/92 constituted 57%, which starkly outpaced the 48% used by them in 98/99. However, medium and rich families exhibited a contrasting movement while the rate of electricity access increased from 73% in 91/92 to 85% in 98/99.
Neighbour water figures depicted a minimal change, including a tedious rise from 55% to 57% of extreme imporverished people, and from 76% to 80% of rich families. However, poor households’ figure kept stable, at 69%.
