Line Graph- Percentage of Tourists Visiting France, Spain, Australia and Japan
The line graph compares the percentage of tourists visiting France, Spain, Australia and Japan
between 2000 and 2020.
Overall, France was the most popular destination throughout the period and recorded the
strongest overall growth. Spain showed gradual recovery after an early decline, while
Australia and Japan experienced more moderate increases.
In 2000, France attracted about 15% of tourists, placing it at the top among the four countries.
Although its share fell slightly between 2010 and 2015, it increased sharply afterwards,
reaching almost 28% by 2020, which was the highest figure on the chart. Spain started at just
under 15% and declined marginally during the first decade. However, from 2010 onwards,
the proportion rose steadily and finished at approximately 18% in 2020.
Australia and Japan began at lower levels, at around 10% and 7% respectively. Australia
showed consistent growth overall, climbing to roughly 13% by the end of the period, despite
a minor decrease after 2015. Japan also increased gradually across the twenty years, reaching
about 12% in 2020. Although both countries improved, their shares remained well below
those of France and Spain.
Bar Chart- Social Media Usage for Professional Networking
The bar chart compares the percentage of young professionals aged 20 to 30 who use
LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook and X for career networking.
Overall, LinkedIn is clearly the most widely used platform for professional purposes, whereas
X is the least popular. Usage declines steadily from LinkedIn to Instagram, then to Facebook
and finally to X.
LinkedIn accounts for approximately 45% of users, making it the dominant platform and
representing nearly half of all young professionals. This figure is about 15% points higher
than Instagram, which stands at around 30%. The difference highlights a strong preference
for LinkedIn over other platforms for career related activities.
Facebook ranks third, with roughly 20% of respondents using it for professional networking.
This proportion is considerably lower than that of both LinkedIn and Instagram. At the
bottom of the chart is X, used by only about 10% of young professionals. In fact, LinkedIn
attracts more than four times as many users as X, demonstrating a significant gap between the
most and least popular platforms.
Pie Chart- Global Job Market by Sector
The pie chart shows the global distribution of employment across five sectors, namely
Healthcare, Technology, Education, Tourism and Manufacturing.
Overall, Healthcare represents the largest share of employment, whereas Manufacturing
accounts for the smallest proportion. Healthcare and Technology together make up more than
half of total global employment.
Healthcare comprises 30% of the workforce, making it the leading sector. Technology
follows at 25%, which is five percentage points lower than Healthcare. When combined,
these two sectors account for 55% of total employment, indicating that more than half of all
jobs are concentrated in these areas. Education represents 20%, placing it in the middle of the
distribution and below both Healthcare and Technology.
Tourism accounts for 15% of global employment, while Manufacturing contributes just 10%,
the smallest share among the five sectors. Notably, the proportion employed in healthcare is
three times that of Manufacturing, highlighting a clear imbalance between the largest and
smallest sectors.

locations. Tokyo records the lowest figure at 2,150 dollars, which is 650 dollars less than
Dubai and 80 dollars below Singapore. Although the differences among Toronto, London and
Singapore are relatively small, the gap between Dubai and Tokyo is considerably wider.
