The bar graph compares the weekly working hours of men and women in Australia, expressed as percentages across various hour ranges.
Overall, the 30-50 range was the most popular among both genders, with men’s working hours being slightly higher. Additionally, men were more inclined to work longer hours, usually almost full-time, whilst their female counterparts were concentrated in the shorter working-hour ranges.
A growing number of women took on part-time jobs per week . For the 0-10 bracket, the largest working-hour difference between two genders was documented, with a figure of precisely 15% for female workers, which was around two times the figure for their male counterparts. Similarly, the 10-20 cohort showed a contrast in popularity between both genders, with roughly 22% of women working compared to only around 12% of men.
Men consistently worked more extended hours than women. Notably, the longest hours in this gender were recorded for the 30-50 bracket at about a staggering 44%, whereas a relatively high number of women reached precisely 35%. Furthermore, the 60-80 cohort showed a similar pattern, with respective proportions of 30% for men and 18% for women. Finally, the figures for women and men working more than 80 hours on a weekly basis were identical, at 10% each.
