1. The graphs depict the number of males and females in different age groups who engaged in part-time and full-time work in Australia from 1973 to 1993.
Overall, most male workers joined full-time jobs rather than part-time jobs, while female workers did both full-time and part-time work in a fairly similar pattern.
In 1973, nearly 60% of men between the ages of 15 and 19 worked full-time, and approximately 90% of men from the ages of 20 to 55 employed a full-time job. But this percentage plunged while they were over 55. At the age of 65, only around 20% of men worked a full-time job. In 1993, the various age groups followed the same pattern, though the number of male workers was less than the number of male workers in 1973. For the women full-time workers, age groups 15 to 19 and 35 to 39 experienced a peak, whereas other age groups showed a notable fluctuation in 1973. Over the next twenty years, the number of female workers increased, and for the age group of 20 to 24, the peak value was just over 50%.
Over 5% and 20% of men did a part-time job in 1973 and 1993, respectively. However, the number of male workers decreased dramatically as they grew older. On the contrary, more females preferred part-time jobs, especially in the ages of 35 to 39. In 1973, nearly 25%, and in 1993, around 35% of women worked a part-time job in the age difference of 35 to 39.
