The provided line graph demonstrates the number of citizenships given in the UK between 1962 and 2002, while the bar graph illustrates the ethnicities of people who were given citizenship in 1996 and 2002.
Overall, it is obvious that the number of people getting citizenship has increased over the years, and the origins of people getting them are mostly Asian in both periods of time.
To begin with, the number of people granted citizenship was roughly 20,500 at the start of the given period (1962). As years passed, it gradually increased to around 60,000 in 1988. However, in 1996, the number dropped by 20,000 and ended up at 40,000. Despite the decline, the number of UK citizenships experienced a dramatic increase and peaked at 90,000 in 2000.
By far the majority of the population given citizenship came from Asia and remained dominant in both 1996 and 2002, numbering 19,000 in 1996 and 50,000 in 2002. The second biggest ethnicities were people from Europe, America, and Africa in 1996, but by 2002 the number of Europeans decreased, which made them the third biggest group. The last origin is Australasia, and the other regions consisted of 5,000 citizens in the first year but dropped to 4,000 in the next given year, making it the smallest group among the four.
