The pie charts illustrate the comparison of part-time and full-time employment between men and women in the United Kingdom between 1988 and 2012. The measurements were indicated as percentages and thousands. Overall, it is evident from the chart that the proportion of full-time employment and part-time employment differed considerably.
It is noticeable that there was a clear difference in the total proportion of employment in thousands between 1988 and 2012, at 23,839 and at 29,600, respectively. In sum, a steady growth was recorded over a twenty-four-year period.
In comparison of full-time employment between men and women, men represented a larger proportion compared to women. Although it experienced a slight fall from 53% in 1988 to 47% in 2012, it remained the majority of the total chart. In contrast to women, the proportion grew moderately from 19% in 1988 to 26% in 2012.
In comparison of part-time employment between men and women, the proportion for women was surprisingly higher than men. It dropped slightly from 22% in 1988 to 20% in 2012, whereas the figure for men barely grew from 6% in 1988 to 7% in 2012, accounting for the smallest proportion of the total chart.
It can be understood that the proportion of men who work full-time experienced a decrease over the time frame, whereas women who work both full- and part- time displayed corresponding increases in the span of twenty-four years. Despite the recorded rise, the figure for men who work part-time did not exhibit a significant change.
