The chart below shows the percentage of difference in income between men and women from 1978 to 2008. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The given line graph illustrates the proportion of the
income
gap between
genders
in five different countries in the period of 30 years from 1978 to 2008.
Overall
, it is evident that there was a reduction in the percentage of the
income
gap between
genders
, the only exception for that in Australia after 1998. The
income
of
genders
in
Japan
and the US is totally different but they have a similar trend. In 1978, the difference in
income
between gender was 48% in
Japan
and 32% in the US.
Then
the figures decreased gradually to 41% in
Japan
and 37% in the US
at the end
of the period. The
income
gap between
genders
in France and UK was lower than that in
Japan
and the US. About 30 % and 18% were the gender different incomes in 1978 in France and UK, respectively. The numbers went down slightly in the next 20 years, with 26% in the UK and 16% in France.
By contrast
, starting at 17 % in the different
income
between gender, the figure for Australia witnessed a minimal decrease of 10% and remained unchanged in the next 5 years,
then
reached a peak of about 25%
at the end
of the period.
