The diagram illustrates the distribution of job preferences between part-time and full-time employment, focusing on gender differences. The subsequent analysis will elaborate on the employment ratio dissemination in the UK for the years 1998 and 2012, taken from women and men.
At first glance, men’s full-time jobs encompass almost half of the pie chart, even though subsequently, there is an incremental decrease in terms of the ratio. Overall in all portions, staff count showed a considerable growth with a total of 29,600 individuals who work for the UK in 2012.
Despite the overall rise, there is a dramatic decline which comes not only from men’s (full-time) but also from women’s (part-time) jobs, from 53% to 47%, 22% to 20%, respectively. In parallel, the total employee number faced a profound increase by approximately 850 personnel. Plus, from female part-time workers’ standpoint, it reached an approximate 600 more employees in 2012.
Furthermore, whereas the lowest count and percentage belong to the male part-time occupation with 6%, it climbed up by merely 1% with roughly 600 staff. A by-product of this, women’s full-time work choice underwent a substantial escalation over the course of the 24 years by 7%, which is nearly equal to 3,000 additional staff for the UK in 2012.
