The bar chart illustrates the lost days causes by worker’s injuries in five particular countries. Along with the numbers of days lost are three periods of year starting from 1991 to 2005.

From a quick glance at the chart, the numbers of days lost in the given countries increased in each five-year period, except for Germany. Germany had its highest number of worker’s lost days due to injury at over 2.5 days in the first five year. However, the days lost decreased steadily later on the next two periods. While the numbers of days effected by worker’s injury in American and Korea has the same upward trends from more than 2.5 days to 5 days over the fifteen-year period, China had the highest number. Starting with over 5 days in the first period, the numbers of lost days rose gradually in the next two periods, peaking at 10 days. Apart from those countries, the number of days lost in Brazil fluctuated, reaching its lowest point at more than 6 days, went down to more than 5 and rose again to 7.5 days in the last period.

In conclusion, the number of the lost days of worker because of injuries has the same upward trends, except for Germany with the lowest point in the last period. Brazil’s number has different trend, however, it still rose to the significant point in the last five-year period.
