The bar chart compares the proportions of adults aged 25-34 and 55-64 who completed high school education in six countries. Overall, younger adults attained higher levels of high school education than older adults, except for the USA where the older age group had a higher rate. In contrast, China and Brazil lagged significantly behind the other countries in high school education attainment.
The data shows that young adults had a higher rate of high school completion than older adults across given countries. In Germany, approximately 85% of young adults (aged 25-34) completed higher school, while 83% did seniors, showing little difference between two age groups. However, the reverse was true for the USA, with 85% of elderly people and 83% of younger adults acquired high school education.
Russia and South Korea also reported similar patterns. 86% of Russian adults (aged 25-34) and about 65% older generation completed high school. Similarly, South Korea reported the highest level of high school completion rate among all countries, totaling of 100% of young people (aged 25-34), while less than half of that percent was among old people.
Conversely, Brazil and China had the lowest education level among other countries. In Brazil older adults with high school education are the lowest at about 25%, while younger adults are around 50%. In China, only about 10% of older adults have a high school education, compared to approximately 20% of younger adults.
