The provided column graphs compare the employment figures of males and females aged 60-64 in four different countries- Belgium, Australia, the US and Belgium- in two different years, 1970 and 2000.


Overall, there was a widened gap between the females and males in terms of their employment levels, as older men were preferably hired more for jobs in 1970, while employment potential of females was comparatively smaller. However, after 30 years the trend changed, with the percentage of employed men greatly reducing, whereas the opposite gender saw its numbers gradually rising.


In 1970, Belgium and Japan took the lead in providing its men over 60 with permanent jobs, with the former employing 79% and the latter one giving a job to 85% of all its male citizens. This was accompanied by two other countries: the US and Australia, whose employment proportions averaging around 73-76%. However, the trend reversed back in 2000, as all countries experienced its figures falling, albeit at varying degrees. The largest dip was observed in Belgium, with the number of men aged 60-64 declining to 19%. A similarity was observed in the rest of countries- the US constituted approximately 20% fall, Australia saw 21% and Japan experienced 9% drop- in 2000.


Women, on the other hand, exhibited relatively smaller figures for both years, but with mostly increases. In 1970, the percentage of women over 60 was 36% in the USA, a figure that then rose by 3%, reaching 39% in 2000. Australia followed the same trail, with its female employment chances increasing by a tiny 2% over the three year. However, these numbers were followed by other two countries that showed decreases: firstly, Belgium with a percentage-point dip and secondly, Japan with three-percentage drop in their employment figures from 1970 to 2000.




The provided bar chart compares the proportions of females and males in the UK in terms of their daily consumption of fruits and vegetables, dividing the demographics into six age categories.

Overall, females were more supportive of consuming the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables each day, outpacing men in almost every single age group. Additionally, more middle-aged people, especially those around 55–64, consumed the recommended intake.


There was a small disparity between men and women aged 19–24 in terms of how actively they consumed the recommended fruits and vegetables per day, at 15% and 17%, respectively. This was followed by the next age category, where more than a fifth of all females regularly met the suggested fruit and vegetable intake compared to 20% of men. The discrepancy became more pronounced among the 36 to 54-year-old age range, with women’s figures constituting an average of 25%, while those of men stood at 22%.


However, the following two age demographics exhibited more noticeable proportions. A staggering 35% of women aged 55 to 64 consumed the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables, with a small dip of almost 2% among men. In stark contrast, people over 75 were the only age group that showed identical figures of 20% each.




The provided table graph compares the number of international visits across several different countries and the percentage change they observed in 2009 and 2010.


Overall, France and the USA were the two countries that attracted more tourists than other regions, even though the progress they made was relatively smaller. Additionally, despite being the least visited nation, Germany experienced the most noticeable growth, while other nations had relatively modest figures.


France and the USA led the pack in terms of the overall number of visits made by tourists, each attracting more than 60 million tourists per year, with the US maintaining its dominance for two years. However, the progress they made was not noticeable, as only France accounted for a 1.5% increase.


Closely following were Spain and the UK, whose annual touristic potential averaged around 55 million visits. These numbers mirrored them in the change observed percentage-wise, with respective figures of 1.8% and 3.6%. A similarity was shown in Italy regarding the progress that occurred, as 44 and 45 million visitors came to Italy in 2009 and 2010, increasing by a tiny 2.3%.


The rest of the countries, on the other hand, showed the biggest rises, with the most marked one in Germany, a country that attracted 11 million people in 2009 and doubled that number to 23 million after a year, a 109% increase. China followed at a distance, as 22 and 34 million visitors came to this country respectively, marking a 55% jump. This list also includes another Asian country, Turkey, which attracted more than 30 million visitors each year, with a 33% growth in the end.




The given double graph compares the amount of time women and men dedicated to either leisure or household activities, with units measured in minutes per day.

Overall, there was not a noticeable disparity between females and males in terms of time distribution for leisure, except for a widened gap in techno-related activities. Additionally, women were more involved in doing household chores compared to men, who were mostly engaged in fixing household equipment.

In terms of time allocation across spare time activities, technological devices drew more attention from both gender groups, with each spending more than an hour daily. In stark contrast, the time figures for both reading and doing sports were modest, averaging around 10–20 minutes per day.

Moving to household duties, women were more active compared to their male counterparts. For example, there was a marked discrepancy in time allocation for cooking and washing, with women spending approximately 75 minutes per day—three times more than men, who spent 25 minutes. This difference was also observed in clothes washing and ironing, where men spent approximately 15 minutes, while women dedicated almost half an hour. However, this widened gap narrowed in terms of shopping, with each gender spending more than 20 minutes a day. Additionally, repairing household items was the only activity where the time dedicated by men (20 minutes) exceeded that of their female counterparts (10 minutes).




The provided column graph compares the amount of energy derived from wind in four countries- India, Denmark, Germany and the USA- from 1985 to 2000, units measured in megawatts.


Overall, the contribution of wind power in total energy generation had become more noticeable towards the end of period, each country showing a greater reliance on this form of energy. Additionally, the USA was more supportive of this initiative, while Germany preferred this method the least.


In 1985, 1200 megawatts of energy were generated in the USA by using wind power, a figure which then rose to well over 1600 megawatts after five years. Then, a series of declines started, with an approximate dip of 60 megawatts in 1995, followed by an even larger decrease of 100 megawatts in 2000, ultimately being overtaken by Denmark.


Another country whose energy contribution from wind was more noticeable was Denmark, a country that generated just over 200 megawatts in 1985. This figure then came up with even bigger numbers, first doubling to over 400 megawatts and surging to 1200 megawatts in 1995, marking the most pronounced growth in the chart and peaked at approximately 1650 megawatts in 2000.


India and Germany, on the other hand, had relatively modest figures. The contribution of energy derived from wind in India was 200 megawatts in 1985, increasing by two times in 1990. This jump, then, was accompanied by marked increases, shooting up to 1200 megawatts in 2000.


A similarity was observed in Germany, albeit at varying degrees. Despite being the second most common producer of wind energy in 1985, its total contribution was relatively insignificant after a decade, even though it experienced a twofold increase from 400 megawatts in 1985 to 800 megawatts in 1995, ending the period as the least reliant country on wind for energy production.

Band 8-8,5.


The bar chart shows the amount of energy generated by wind in four countries from 1985 to 2000.


The provided column graphs compare three different types of citrus fruits — oranges, lemons, grapefruits — and other unspecified citrus fruits in terms of how many metric tons were exported by the top three countries in the year 2012.

Overall, South Africa topped the list with its ever-increasing export of oranges, while lemons were more favored by Turkey. Grapefruits, in contrast, had two major exporters — South Africa and the USA. However, there was no noticeable interest in other types of citrus fruits across all countries except Mexico.

In 2012, a lion’s share of 1,000 metric tons of oranges was exported by South Africa, followed by Egypt and the USA, at approximately 900 and 650 metric tons, respectively. Turkey, on the other hand, was more prominent in lemon exports, with its export quantity standing at 500 metric tons — a small margin ahead of Mexico, which exported approximately 450 metric tons. Argentina ranked last in terms of lemon exports, at just over 200 tons.

Regarding grapefruits, the USA and South Africa led the group, with only a small difference between them, each exporting around 230 metric tons per year, widening the gap with Turkey, which exported only 160 tons of grapefruits. In stark contrast, the demand for other forms of citrus fruits was barely noticeable, rarely exceeding 20 metric tons for the USA and Israel. However, Mexico stood out in this category, with exports of more than 400 metric tons.


The charts below show four categories of citrus fruits and the top three countries to which these were exported (in thousand tonnes) in 2012.


The table illustrates the proportion of tax revenue collected as a percentage of GDP in five countries — Sweden, the USA, Korea, Japan, and Turkey — at four points in time between 1975 and 2005.

Overall, Sweden consistently recorded the highest tax revenue as a share of GDP, while Japan and Korea had the lowest figures across the period. The USA and Turkey, by contrast, showed relatively moderate but stable proportions throughout.

In 1975, Sweden had the highest tax-to-GDP ratio at 46%, which rose steadily over the years, reaching 70.1% in 2005. This growth included a slight increase in 1985, followed by more notable jumps of 4 and 19 percentage points in 1995 and 2005, respectively. The USA followed a relatively stable pattern, fluctuating slightly between 25.1% and 27.4%.

Both Korea and Japan began at 15% in 1975. Korea experienced a sharp rise to 27.3% by 2005, while Japan’s share more than doubled, reaching 32.1% in the same year. Turkey showed a similar trend, starting at 16.4%, dipping slightly in 1985, and then increasing significantly to 27.4% by the end of the period.


The table below gives information about the amount of tax collected ( as % of GDP) in five countries for 4 years between 1975 and 2005.


The line graph compares the satisfaction levels of people from different countries- Canada, the UK, the Netherlands and the USA on the healthcare system provided in three distinct years.


Overall, the satisfaction levels of all countries remained stable except Canada, a country that experienced a noticeable variation over the period. Additionally, the public originating from the Netherlands were more pleased with healthcare, while the opposite scenario was true for Americans.


A country which showed a visible fluctuation in terms of satisfaction levels with the healthcare system was Canada. Despite being very satisfied with the healthcare maintained initially, Canadians’ level of contentment on the service plunged in 1998, a year in which only 20% of people approved the service positively. This was, however, followed by a double positive change in satisfaction ratings to 40% in 2007.


Netherlands, on the other hand, was a country with stable in healthcare satisfaction, with its figures hovering around 50% for the most part. This tendency was the case for the UK, albeit with varying degrees, ranging from 20% to 30$ from 1991 to 2007. In a stark contrast, there was a great disapproval of the healthcare system in the USA, as only 10% of the public was pleased with the services on healthcare, despite a small rise in 2007.


The line graph shows the level of satisfaction with health care system in four countries from 1991 to 2007.


The bar chart compares the annual salaries of doctors and other workers across seven different countries in 2004.

Overall, doctors earned significantly more than workers in other occupations in every country, with the gap most noticeable in the United States. Additionally, Italy, the Czech Republic, and Germany showed similar figures with relatively modest salaries for both groups.

Among the more affluent nations, the United States topped the list, with doctors earning around $120,000 per year—nearly triple the income of other workers, who earned just over $40,000. Switzerland and France followed, where doctors were paid approximately $70,000, while the average salary for other professions was considerably lower, at around $40,000 and $20,000 respectively.

In the Czech Republic, Germany, and Italy, the annual income for doctors was roughly $60,000, while that of other workers remained just above $20,000, indicating a consistent wage disparity. By contrast, Finland reported the lowest average salary for doctors among the seven countries, at about $50,000, although other workers in this country still earned less than half that amount, with an average of $22,000 annually.


The chart below gives information about the average annual pay of doctors and other workers in seven different countries in 2004.


The provided table compares the distribution of milk production across four countries from 1990 to 2010.

Overall, the Netherlands and Australia dominated annual milk production with some minor differences over the period, while Tanzania and Guatemala had relatively smaller figures. Additionally, the quantity of milk produced increased in all countries except Australia.


In 1990, the Netherlands had dominance in milk production, producing 11,262,000 liters, closely followed by Australia with 11,246,000 liters. This gap became even more pronounced after ten years, as Australia decreased its milk production significantly to 11,105,000 liters, compared to its counterpart, the Netherlands, which increased to 11,255,000 liters in 2000. This tendency continued in 2010, when approximately 11.5 million liters of milk were produced in the Netherlands, far exceeding the figure for Australia, which barely went beyond 9 million liters.


Tanzania and Guatemala showed relatively modest numbers. For example, in 1990, Tanzania’s milk production capacity was around 90,000 liters, three times more than that of Guatemala, at 26,000 liters. This trend became even clearer when the former’s milk production improved to 142,000 in 2000 and then further rose to 150,000 in 2010, while that of the latter first doubled, reaching 55,000 in 2000, and finally peaked at 84,000 in the final year.
