Describing a bar chart: Percentage of British people giving money to charity The bar chart shows the percentage of British people making donations in 1990 and 2010 with classification by age. A steady but significant rise can be seen in the percentage. An analysis of the data by age shows that older people give more money to charity in both of those years, but percentage drops off for people over 65. The maximum percents can be observed in 1990 when numbers for 36-50 age group were up to about 42% whilst minimum results of approximately 7% in 2010 were shown by 18-25 years old group. The minimum percent is for the youngest group, in 1990, around 17% of 18-25 year old people donated money, but this figure had fallen to 7% by 2010. There were also moderate decreases, of approximately 5-7 percentage points, for the 26-35 and 36-50 age groups (going down to about 24% and 35% respectively in 2010). However, percents for 51-65 and over 65 groups proved to have the higher level than the same groups in 1990, figures reached about 40% and 35% accordingly, about 3-5 percentage points higher than in 1990.
