The line graph shows the percentage of female


parliamentarians in 5 different European countries over a 12-
year period.

The underlying trend from the data seems to be that over the
time-span described all the countries in question were
increasing the proportion of women in their respective
parliaments. Another interesting feature of the data is that the
growth in all the studied countries seemed uninterrupted with
the only exception of Belgium which experienced a slight dip
after around 2008. Also, despite being, for the most part, the
country with the highest percentage of female representation
in the parliament, Germany was eventually overtaken by Italy.
The last interesting change on the graph was that UK
experienced the most considerable growth among the listed
countries.

Focsuing on countries that followed a largely identical trend,


we see that Germany, Italy, and France started out at about
33%, 27%, and 25% respectively. France did not experience any
drastic changes over the period and was increasing until 2012
before reaching its peak of around 32%. Meanwhile, Italy was
growing much more rapidly than France and Germany and at
the end of the period nearly 4 out 10 parliamentarians were
women. Germany, however, did not increase the percentage of
women as rapidly as Italy and in the last year, it had just over
35% of women in its parliament.

In stark contrast, in 2000 the other two countries, namely


Belgium and the UK had a substantially lower proportion of
women working in their parliaments. The former started off at
roughly 16% and kept growing until 2008 and peaked at just
under 25% before going down slightly by about 2% in the last 4
years. UK, on the other hand, saw a considerably more
noticeable increase by growing its female representation
seven-fold over the span of 12 years, it went up from a mere
3% to a staggering 23%. [311 words]
