The pie chart shows the percentage of women in poverty and the bar chart shows poverty rates by sex and age. They are from the United States in 2008. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.
SAMPLE ANSWER
The pie chart displays the distribution of poor American women among various groups. The bar chart compares the percentage of poverty between genders in different age groups.
Overall, it can be seen that single women with no dependent children accounted for the majority of women in poverty in the US. In addition, women were recorded with a higher poverty rate compared with men at any age.
As shown in the pie chart, over half (54%) of women living in poor conditions were single and had no dependent children. Single women with dependent children accounted for one-fourth of the total poverty while married females with no children came last with only 8%.
According to the bar chart, women seemed to dominate men in terms of living in poverty. Specifically, poor females aged 18-24 made up over 20% while the figure for males of the same age group was less than 15%.
