The two pie charts compare the post-school qualifications of Australians aged 25-34. The first chart shows the percentage of people who held a degree, while the second chart illustrates the fields of study of degree holders.
Overall, social sciences and arts, together with engineering, were the most popular fields in both charts. In contrast, administration and veterinary/agriculture accounted for the smallest proportions.
According to the first chart, social sciences and arts was the largest category, making up 19.48% of all qualifications. Engineering followed closely at 18.19%, while education represented 14.76%. The figures for medicine and architecture were 9.36% and 7.60%, respectively. Law accounted for 6.85%, whereas veterinary and agriculture made up only 5.54%. Administration was the least common qualification, at just 2.10%.
In the second chart, social sciences and arts remained the most popular field, increasing slightly to 20.42%. Engineering also recorded a high percentage of 19.27%. Education accounted for 13.17%, while medicine and architecture represented 11.35% and 10.11%, respectively. By comparison, law stood at 2.96%, and administration and other remained the smallest categories, at 2.00% and 2.48%.
In conclusion, the two charts indicate that social sciences and arts and engineering were the dominant fields of study among young Australian degree holders, while administration and several smaller fields attracted relatively few graduates.
