Structure:
The bar chart illustrates the percentage of households with Internet access in a European country (real topic) between 2000 and 2020, classified by income group (chart name).
Overall, Internet access increased significantly across all income groups over the 20-year period. Although high-income households consistently had the greatest access, the gap between income levels narrowed considerably by 2020.
In 2000, only 10% of low-income households were connected to the Internet, compared to 25% of middle-income and 60% of high-income families. By 2020, the figures had risen sharply to 75%, 90%, and 98% respectively. The fastest growth occurred among low-income households, while high-income groups showed slower growth after 2010, having already reached high levels of access.
Overall, Internet availability became nearly universal by 2020, reflecting greater affordability and technological adoption across all income levels.
