The data provides information regarding educational levels in Glasgow in 2010. The bar chart illustrates differences across age groups, while the pie charts compare males and females of all ages.
Overall, younger people were more likely to have a university degree, whereas older generations tended to have no formal qualifications. In terms of gender, the proportions of men and women with different levels of education were relatively similar.
Looking first at age groups, the percentage of people holding university degrees was highest among those aged 25-35 (around 72%), followed closely by the 16-24 and 35-50 groups, both at 71%. By contrast, only a quarter of people aged 75 and over had a degree, while nearly three-quarters of them had no qualifications at all. A similar but less extreme trend is visible among the 50-75 age group, where half had no qualifications, and only 20% possessed a degree.
Turning to gender, the data show small differences. Among women, 38% had no qualifications, 33% held a school certificate, and 29% completed a degree. Men’s figures were very close, with 35%, 33% and 32% respectively. This suggests that gender did not play a significant role in educational attainment in Glasgow in 2010.
