The charts illustrate levels of educational attainment in Glasgow, a city in Scotland, in 2010, categorised by age group and gender.
Overall, younger age groups had a much higher proportion of university graduates, while older groups showed significantly lower levels of education. In contrast, differences between males and females were relatively small.
Looking first at age, around 70% or more of individuals aged 16-24, 24-35, and 35-50 held university degrees, with the highest figure of approximately 75% recorded in the 24-35 group. However, this proportion declined steadily with age, falling to about 50% among those aged 50-75 and dropping further to roughly 25% in the 75+ category.
By comparison, the share of people with no qualifications rose sharply in older age groups. It remained low among younger individuals but increased dramatically to around 72% for those aged over 75. The proportion holding school certificates was relatively stable across most age groups, although it dropped significantly to just 3% in the oldest group.
In terms of gender, the patterns were broadly similar. Men had a slightly higher proportion of university graduates, by around 3%, while women recorded a marginally higher share of individuals with no qualifications. Overall, the gender gap in educational attainment was minimal.
