The chart below shows the percentage of difference in income between men and women from 1978 to 2008.

The given line graph illustrates the income gap between genders in five selected countries between 1978 and 2008.

Overall, it is vividly shown that Australia witnessed the most significant change of increasing while four other countries shared the similar downward trend during the span of time.

On one hand, it is clear that Japan experienced the most considerable difference of almost 50% in earnings between males and females in 1978. However, that figure of Japan steadily decreased to over 40% by the year 2008. Likewise, starting at 29% and 32% respectively, USA and UK together showed a gradual reduction to around 28% at last.

On the other hand, both France and Australia represented smaller income gap in comparison with the former. In terms of France, there was a moderate decline of 2% after 40 years. In contrast, after going through a 20-year period of stability at almost 18%, the lowest income gap in 1978, Australia, surprisingly rose to 24% in the end, overtaking the figure for France.
