14- MIGRATION AND BUSINESS CYCLES base line for each curve. The effect of the “ratio” scale is that the relative amount of increase or decrease in any year-to-year change is graphically represented by the relative slope of the connecting lines, that is, by the vertical change from one year to the next. If, for example, two series experience the same percentage decline, the slope of the two curves will be the same.

S. Commissioner General of Immigration. is shown by a sharp drop; a small percentage decline, by a slight drop. Hence the relative variability of the series represented can be approximated visually by comparison of the shapes of the curves. The steadier the series represented, the less the curve deviates from a straight line or smooth curve. To facilitate an approximation of the percentage change in any year, scales for percentage increases and decreases are given at the right of the chart. Also, although all the curves are drawn to the same scale, to avoid confusing crossing of the lines each curve has been plotted from a i)
