The charts provide information about the percentage of men and women of various age categories and the average age of their youngest child in 2008 in the UK.
Overall, people of age from 26 to 59 more often have a job than others. Furthermore, the share of men whose youngest child is of age older than 6 usually exceeds the same percentage for women with an exception for an age category of a youngest child from 0 to 5.
To begin, the rate of employed males and females of age for categories 26-34, 35-49, 50-59 was about twice more than for other categories (from 65% to 70%, from just under 80% to approximately 82%, and from 70% to 80%, respectively). At the same time, the percentage of working youngsters under 25 and elder persons above 60 was considerably less (from 15% to the fifth and from approximately 20% to slightly under 40%, respectively). In addition, whilst the share of employed males under 25 and older 60 prevalated the same percentage for women, for people of age from 26 to 59, the situation was reverse.
Besides, the number of males with youngest child of age 6-10, 11-15, 16-20, and 21-25 was more than females (from just above 70% to 75% for men in comparison with 55%-70% for women). However, for age category of youngest children from 0 to 5, an exception was observed. In the last case, the share of men and women with a child, whose age corresponds this age category, was almost equal (60%).
