The charts below show the levels of participation in education and science in developing and industrialised countries in 1980 and 1990.
Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information shown below.
The given three bar graphs compare the circumstance or status of the sphere of education of emerging and industrial nations in the year 1980 and 1990.
At the fleeting glance, it is clear from the first bar graph that in 1980, the average schooling period in industrialised countries was over 8 years which was almost 4 times higher than that of nonindustrial countries. After a decade, the average schooling years in both the developed and developing nations inclined but the difference between both remained almost the same.
Probing further, the second bar chart reveals that there were about 10 scientists and technicians among one thousand people in 1980 in the growing economies, the number of which slightly increased to around 18 after 10 years. Whereas in developed countries the number of scientists and technicians was roughly 42 per thousand people in 1980 which rose to about 70 in a decade. The gap between these two types of countries in terms of the ratio of scientists and technicians increased evidently.
The final bar graph shows the total expenditure made on research and development in the growing and industrialised nations. The total money expended on research and development in developed countries was over US $ 150 billions in 1980 whereas it was US $ 50 billions in developing countries. After 10 years this amount became more than double in developed countries reaching at about US $ 350 billions. Disappointingly, the money laid out on research and development in developing nations halved than that of the amount spent in 1980 finishing at just over US $ 20 billions.
