The graph below shows the average monthly salary and the prices of black and white and colour TV in Japanese yen from 1953 to 1973. 7p5Qn
The given line graph delineates the changes in average monthly income of Japanese people, along with the cost of black and white television and that of color television. The data is collected over a two-decade period between 1953 and 1973, measured in terms of thousands of yen.
As is highlighted in the graph, while the prices of both types of television mentioned saw a downward trend, Japanese average monthly wage witnessed a substantial increase over the given timescale.
Regarding the prices of televisions, it can be observed that there were steady declines over time. Standing at 200, 000 yen in 1953, the price of black and white TV plummeted to 100, 000 in 1963 and continued to drop to almost one fourth of the beginning price over the next 10 years. Similar trend can be observed with the price of colour television, which stood at 200, 000 yen in 1963, and then also reduced by half after one decade.
It is explicitly observed that during the period of 20 years from 1953 to 1973, the monthly wage in Japan nearly increased by fivefold, from about 25, 000 yen to 200, 000 yen. It is also worth noticing that albeit in 1953, an ordinary Japanese worker could barely afford a black and white TV, after two decades, even the color TV could be purchased within one month’s wage.
