The bar graph shows the total manufacturing production in percentages in Asia, Europe and the rest of the

world.

The bar chart illustrates the proportions of manufacturing production in Asia, Europe and the remaining continents
of the world from 1840 to 2000.

Looking from an overall perspective, it is readily apparent that Asia and Europe’s figures saw downward trends,
while the rest of the world was on the rise. Moreover, the percentages of production in Asia, Europe and the
remaining continents were the highest in 1840, 1920 and 1960, respectively.

In 1840, Asia began with the highest levels of production at 50%, which was followed by Europe at 40% and the rest
of the world at 10%. Over the next eighty years, Europe and the rest of the world’s figures experienced upward
trajectories, with the former increasing from 40% to 50% and the latter from 10% to 30%. By contrast, the levels of
production in Asia declined sharply/dramatically from 50% to 20% during this period.

After 1920, Asia began to rise steeply, first to about 25% and then to roughly 45% in 2000. In contrast, Europe
underwent a decline to about 38% in 1960 and nearly 28% by 2000. The other regions in the world’s percentage
grew to become equal to Europe’s proportion at about 38% in 1960 and thereafter fell slightly to finish at around
32%. undergo = go through
