The bar graph provides information on the percentage of men and women who possessed a driving licence in a European nation from 1976 to 2006, while the second accompanying bar chart shows the changes in the proportion of younger licence holders aged 17-20 between 1996 and 2006.
Overall, the figures for both genders increased, with the share of women rising significantly. Additionally, the gap between men and women narrowed toward the end of the year. Regarding the next chart, fewer younger individuals were given the licence.
Males had always had the higher share despite a slight rise over the years compared to females. In 1976, 70% of the male citizens held a driving licence, a figure which remained stable over the next 5 years. By 2006, there was a gradual increase to reach a peak of 80%.
By contrast, women had initially considerably lower figures, at the chart low of 30% in 1976. Following two decades, this proportion rose by 5-percentage points in a row, hitting 50%. In the final year, this number peaked at 60%.
In terms of the younger drivers, a half of males at the age of 17-20 had the licence in 1996, thereafter which reduced slightly in 2006. For females, the figure saw a 10-percentage point decline, from 30% to 20%.
