There are two bar charts that contain information about people who are studying. The first says why they are studying and the second shows the percentage of them receiving support from their employer. Most notably, there is an inverse correlation between the two reasons for studying, with people being much more likely to study for career reasons at a young age and to do so out of interest when they are older.
It is much more common for students to receive support from an employer if they are in the youngest age group, representing people below the age of twenty-six. More than 60% of students in this age group get assistance from their employer. Only slightly more than half of the next age group receive support, and this drops to about a third for people in their thirties. It becomes more common for people who are older, with 45% of people aged fifty and above receiving assistance for their studies.
As for the reason that people study, there is an inverse correlation between age and reason. The younger people are, the more likely they are to study for career-related reasons. On the other hand, the older people are, the more likely they are to study out of interest. To demonstrate this, 80% of the youngest group study for career reasons and 70% of the oldest group study for interest.
