The line graph depicts data on the number of first marriages, remarriages and total marriages throughout the period 1951 to 2001. It is manifest from the presented information that the total number of marriages had significant volatility during the time and eventually plummeted to a new low at the end of it.
During the given time period, there was an inverse relationship between the figures for first marriages and remarriages with rises in one rate being mirrored by falls in another. In 1951 around 350, 000 first marriages were celebrated. This number increased fractionally and reached its spike in 1951. However, the numbers soon dropped precipitously and fell to its lowest level of 250, 000 in 2001. On the contrary, the number of remarriages hovered around a modest 150, 000 in the first thirty years. Yet, following 1981, the rate rose significantly with its growth accelerating in 1991 to soar to a peak of 200, 000 by the conclusion of the period.
In terms of total marriages, despite a modest decline in 1961, it quickly rebounded to reach a high of 450, 000 marriages in 1971. Nonetheless, the rate tailed off in the following years, and finally ended up at approximately 370, 000 in the year 2001.
