The line graph illustrates about the percentage of age group of the young population in the United Kingdom between 1990 and 2001.
Overall, it is clear that the proportion of children aged 5 to 9 and 10 to 14 years was increased, while the proportion of children aged 0 to 4 and 15 to 19 years was decreased. It is also notable that the 10 to 14 age group was the most impressive growth in United Kingdom for most of the period.

Over the next 11 years, children aged 5 to 9 years increased heavily, peaking at about 26,2% in 1997, then declining continually to about 25,2% in 2001. In contrast, children aged 10 to 14 years go up continually, about 26,3% in 2001.
