The chart provides data about workplace injuries in one country in 2018, within the 15-60+ age groups, and contrasts them by type of industry. The chart illustrates the percentage from 0%-45% of how each age recive effect from workplace injuries.
Looking at the details, the 50-60+ age group has the highest proportion of injuries in the education and health industries, accounting for 40%. However, in the mining and construction sector, the 15-24 age group shares the highest proportion of injuries with the 50-60+ group, with both groups at 40% each, significantly higher than the 35-49 group, which accounts for only 10%. In the leisure and hospitality sector, the 50-60+ group remains the largest at 38%, with the 35-49 group following closely behind at 30%.
In contrast, the manufacturing sector shows a different pattern, with the 35-49 age group accounting for the highest proportion at 35%, while the 50-60+ group drops to just 25%. Furthermore, the 15-24 age group in manufacturing is significantly lower than the same age group in other sectors, at 15%. Noteworthy is that the 25-34 age group consistently has the lowest injury proportion, not exceeding 25% across all sectors, and the lowest overall proportion at 5% in the education and health sectors, demonstrating that this age group is at the lowest risk in almost all workplace types surveyed.
Overall, it is evident that the 50-60+ age group has the highest proportion of injuries in three of the four industries surveyed, while the 25-34 age group consistently has the lowest percentage. Furthermore, the mining and construction sector, and the education and health sector, are two sectors that stand out as showing clear differences between the highest and lowest injury proportions.
