Overlaying twoway bar graphs - bars side-by-side not overlaid

[Scott Hemphill]

Hi, I realise this is most likely an elementary question, but I cannot find a solution. I would like the to overlay the following twoway graphs with each pair of bars side-by-side as shown in the pictures. I have also attached what my current graph looks like.

I have used the command:

twoway (bar adultcases year, barwidth(0.5)) (bar childcases year, barwidth(0.5))

Thanks,

Scott
