Internet Users in Three Countries

The line graph below shows the percentage of the population using the internet in three countries between 1998 and 2018. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The vertical axis shows the percentage of the population, from 0 to 100, and the horizontal axis shows the years 1998, 2003, 2008, 2013 and 2018. In 1998, internet use was low in all three countries: Canada stood at about 35 per cent, Japan at around 15 per cent and Mexico at just 5 per cent. Canada rose steadily to reach roughly 90 per cent by 2018. Japan climbed more sharply, overtaking Canada briefly around 2008 before levelling off at about 85 per cent. Mexico grew more slowly throughout, reaching only around 60 per cent by the end of the period, though its rate of growth increased after 2013.
