The first bar chart shows data about American marriage and divorce rates between 1970 and 2000 while the second bar chart describes information about the married status of adult Americans in 1970 and 2000.
According to the first bar chart, the marriage rate was consistently higher than the divorce rate over the thirty-year period.More precisely, in 1970 the number of marriages stood at 2.5 millions whilst the number of divorces was 1 million.Then, the number of marriages remained stable at this level over the next decade whereas the number of divorces increased to 1.1 millions over the same period.After that, the number of marriages gradually declined to 2 millions in the next twenty years.The number of divorces also experienced a downward trend (1.4 millions and 1 million in 1990 and 2000, respectively).
The second bar clearly shows that married people accounted for the greatest proportion of the adult American population in both 1970 and 2000 (70% and 59%, respectively).As for other categories, the percentage of American adults who were never married was 14% in 1970 and 20% in 2000.By contrast, people who were widowed represented 8% of the population in 1970 and 6% in 2000.Divorced couples constituted only 2% of the entire population in 1970 but in 2000, this figure amounted to 9%.Therefore, it can be clearly seen from the charts that the USA marriage rates were substantially higher than the divorce rates over the three decades and married population made up the largest proportion of the whole population in both 1970 and 2000.
