The pie charts indicate the percentage of employed individuals in five different age sectors in the UK in two years, 2015 and 2020.
Overall, the percentage of employment in the UK for people aged less than 50 was significantly higher than that of their counterparts in both years. Notably, those aged 41-50 and 21-30 witnessed a remarkable increase in the employment rate. Additionally, in 2015, the proportion of employees under 21 was the lowest, but it was 31-40 aged staff in 2020.
In 2015, there were 23% of working people over 50; however, this number dropped to 16% in 2020. Meanwhile, the opposite was true for the 21-30 and 41-50 age categories, surging from 23% and 19% to about 33% and 28%, respectively.
A downward trend can also be observed for the under 21 and 31-40 age groups. Those aged under 21 had an employment rate of 14% in 2015, which was the lowest that year. This figure then fell to 12% in 2020. However, the lowest percentage in 2020 was the rate for 31-40-year-old British employees, with just 11%, despite being employed greatly in 2015 at 21%.
