The exhibited bar charts demonstrate the percentage of people in five distinct age categories in Glasgow, a city in Scotland, having three different levels of education, while the presented pie charts give information divided by gender.
Overall, the majority of people under the age of 75 obtained a bachelor’s degree, while the percentage of 75-and-above year-olds having “no qualifications” was the highest. As well as this, the proportion of males and females in all levels of education was similar, with the highest figure being recorded for the “no qualifications” category.
In terms of the bar charts, the proportion of people having “no qualifications” in the age group of 75 and over was the highest, accounting for almost three-quarters of total people over 75 years old. This figure declined with age, making up 30% in the 50-75 age group, which was almost three times higher than the three remaining age groups. On the other hand, the percentage of individuals achieving a university degree in the 24-35 age group was the highest, representing 76% of total people in this group, while the rate for the 16-24 and 35-50 age groups was both 71%. The proportion of people having a school certificate in all age groups was similar, ranging from 15% to 20%, except for the rate for the 75-and-above year-olds, whose figure made up only 3%.
Regarding the pie charts, the percentage of all education levels in both genders was similar, making up one-third each. To be more specific, the proportion of people obtaining a school certificate was 33% for both genders. Conversely, the percentage of males gaining a bachelor’s degree was slightly higher than that of females, with 32% compared to 29%. In contrast, the ratio of women having “no qualifications” was 3% higher than the figure for men.
