The pie chart represents the percentage of women in poverty in the United States in 2008, and the bar chart illustrate the poverty rates by sex and age at the same year and country.
Overall, in the pie chart the the single women with no dependent children took the big part by more than half, while the married women with no dependent children are the less appered. The bar chart shows that the women are suffering from poverty more than men in different ages.
Firstly, the single women with no dependent children are 54 per cent which is more than a half, then the single ones but with dependent children are representing 26 percent, then we have the married women with dependent children and without dependent children are 12 and 8 percent.
Secondly, we can see in the bar chart that men are always less poverty than women, the men percentage of poverty is decreasing from the first years till the age between 60 and 64 it increases, than it reduces again, the women poverty percentage decreases from the age under 5 to 17 years then it increase again between the age of 18 to 24, than it decrease untill the age of 55 to 59 and increase again. It is obvious that men poverty percentage is more stable than the women one.
