The graph shows changes in the age profile of Internet users in Taiwan
between 1998 and 2000.
The main users of the Internet in Taiwan are young adults between 16 and 30
years old. In 1998, they accounted for more than half of all users. In 1999 the
number dropped slightly to 45%, but even in 2000 they were the biggest
group.
The second biggest group of users is aged between 31 and 50. They made up
41% in 1998, falling slightly to 37% in 2000. When combined with the 16-30
age group, over 94% of users in 1998 were between 16 and 50.
However, this number dropped steadily as more children and older users log
on. In 1999, the number of children online quadrupled from 2% to 8%, and it
continued to increase in 2000. There were similar increases for older users,
rising from 4% in 1998 to 10% in 2000.
In summary, while adults between 16 and 50 represented the great majority
of Internet users in Taiwan, their share declined as more children and older
users joined the web.

The graph shows changes in literacy rates in different countries between 1990
and 2000, for men and women. Overall more and more people are able to
read, and there have been significant improvements for women, although they
lag behind men in literacy.
The most obvious trend in the graph is that women have lower illiteracy rates
in most of the countries in the graph. For example, in Bangladesh in 1990,
45% of men could read and write, but only 25% of women. The difference was
even bigger in Pakistan, with 50% of men being literate but only 20% of
women. Even in Kuwait and China, slightly more men than women could read
and write.
The second biggest trend in the graph is the improvement in literacy between
1990 and 2000. In all countries shown, figures for both men and women
improved. The biggest change was in Pakistan, from 49% of men in 1990 to
57% over the ten year period. Even in countries with relatively high literacy
rates, such as China or Brazil, there were significant increases for men.
However, the increases in literacy rates for women were much higher. In
Egypt, the percentage of non-illiterate women jumped from 35% to 44% and in
Pakistan from 20% to 28% over the decade.
In conclusion, almost all the countries in the graph have a long way to go
before achieving 100% literacy rates, and women in particular need support in
order to increase their reading ability. However, all countries improved over
the ten years, and women appear to be catching up even in the lowest
countries.
