The bar graph shows the total manufacturing production in percentages Asia, Europe, and the rest of the world.
SAMPLE ANSWER
The bar chart details manufacturing production figures proportionally for Asia, Europe and the rest for the world from 1840 to 2000. Looking from an overall perspective, it is readily apparent that while Asia and Europe’s numbers are in decline overall, Asia is on the rise. The rest of the world experienced the most steady increase and by the end was second to Asia in production.
Asia began the period with the highest levels of production at 50%, with Europe slightly lower at 40% and the rest of the world constituting the final 10%. By 1880, the differences had narrowed with Asia falling to 30%, Europe at 45% and the rest of the world more than doubling to 15%. This trend continued through 1920 as Europe and the rest of the world both rose an additional 5% and Asia dropped 10% further.
After 1960 the pattern shifted as Asia begin to rise precipitously, first to 15% and then to 45%. In contrast, Europe underwent a decline to 38% in 1960 and 28% by 2000. Lastly, the rest of the world peaked in 1960 at 38% (even with Europe) before falling back slightly to 32% by the end of the period.
