The provided bar chart depicts the distribution of various specified levels of post-schooling qualifications in Australia among the male and female populations in 1999.
Overall, it can be observed that the male population dominated the female population in three major levels of qualifications with huge margins, whereas women only surpassed them in two fields with slight differences.
To begin with, the percentage rate for men in Skilled Vocational Diplomas was highest at 90%, while women had the least in the same category at just 10%. This also accounted for the most significant difference (80%) between both genders compared to others. Moreover, men also surpassed women in Post Graduate and Master’s Degrees by 40% and 20%, respectively. However, for Undergraduate diplomas and Bachelor’s degrees, the female population had the larger shares, with 70% for the former category and approximately 53% for the latter one, leaving only around 35% and 45% for males, respectively.
