Description

The figure above is a broken-line graph showing the number of adults charged in Yukon from 1977 to 1998, with a projection (dotted line) for the five following years, from 1999 number of adults charged (historial and projected)to 2003. The X axis shows the year; the Y axis shows the number of adults charged, in increments of 50, from 0 to 200. The number of adults charged is between 39 and 167.

In 1977, the number of adults charged reaches its peak during the period studied. It then decreases and increases several times, but remains fairly stable. In 1998, it reaches its lowest level during the period studied. However, the projection suggests an increase in the next year (1999) and then a slow decrease until 2003.
