Writing exercise

The given bar chart illustrates data regarding how eight particular regions are populated and how global wealth is distributed among those areas.

Overall, what stands out from the graph is that there is a significant difference between population and wealth distribution in question. Basically, regions which are great in population are deficient in the wealth they contribute to the world, except Europe where relatively much population matches the second largest amount of wealth.

Looking at details, with regards to population, China plays a dominant role, with a proportion of near one fourth. India, other Asia Pacific and Europe then have a roughly same percentage, accounting for over 15 per cent, being the second group in global population. Last comes to rich Asia-Pacific, which makes up only five per cent population in all those regions.

By contrast, global wealth appreciates a varied distribution. An overwhelming advantage can be noted in North America, with the percentage of approximately 35 per cent, far more than all its counterparts in the graph. The number-two rich area is Europe, constituting 30 per cent financially, followed by rich Asia-Pacific, which enjoys nearly a quarter of the world’s wealth.

Bottom of the graph is India and Africa, which own only less than five per cent of the property from a world’s perspective, strikingly less than their contribution of the population.


The given bar chart illustrates data regarding how eight particular regions are populated and how global wealth is distributed among those areas. / It illustrates the relative populations and wealth concentrations of/among eight regions.

Overall, what stands out from the graph is that there is a significant difference between the populations and wealth distributions in question. Basically, regions which are/have great/high in population are deficient in the wealth they contribute to the world / Regions which have high populations don’t necessarily have the same levels of wealth, except Europe where a relatively large much population matches the second largest amount of wealth.

Looking at details, China plays a dominant role with regards to population with a proportion of nearly one fourth (of the total). India, other Asia Pacific countries and Europe then have a roughly the same percentage, accounting for over/around 15 per cent, being the second largest group in global population. Last comes to the rich Asia-Pacific, which makes up only five per cent of the total population in all those regions / Last comes the rich Asia-Pacific, in all of which we find only five percent of the total population.

By contrast, global wealth appreciates manifests a varied / different distribution. An overwhelming advantage / amount / proportion can be noted in North America / is held by/in NA, with the percentage of approximately / almost 35 per cent, far more than all its counterparts in the graph. The number-two richest area is Europe, constituting 30 per cent financially, followed by rich Asia-Pacific, which enjoys nearly a quarter of the world’s wealth.

At the bottom of the graph are India and Africa, which only own only less than five per cent of the property from a world’s perspective, strikingly less than their contribution of to the population total.

[Conclusion]

So the graph very clearly shows the disparities between the relative wealth of different regions, as some very small regions control the majority of the world’s wealth.
