The given bar graph illustrates the percentage of immigrants from five countries to Australia in three years, which are 1962, 1982 and 2002. A cursory glance at the graph is enough to make it clear that the Italians and New Zealanders immigrating to Australia showed a downward trend, where as those from India, Vietnam and the UK showed a fluctuating trend.
In 1962, 40% immigrants to Australia were from Italy. Their percentage fell dramatically and reached 20% by 1982. After that, there was a moderate decline and by 2002, the percentage of Italians shifting permanently to settle in Australia became 15%. Similarly, the proportion of New Zealand immigrants to Australia decreased from 8% in 1962, to 6% in 1982, to approximately 4. 5% in 2002.
The least percentage (2%) was of Indians who immigrated to Australia in 1962. They grew significantly to 15% by 1982, but after that showed a small drop and reached 14% by 2002. The British and Vietnamese immigrants escalated from 10% each in 1962 to 17% and 25% respectively in 1982. After that their percentage dropped to 12% and 13% respectively by 2002.
Overall, the Indian and Italian immigrants showed the most dramatic changes over the given period of time.
