The first bar chart compares students of different ages in terms of why they are studying the chosen courses, and the second bar chart compares the same groups in terms of the help they require at work.
It is clear that the proportion of students that study for career is far higher among the younger groups, and decreases steadily with age. The proportion of employer support in the same group also decreases with age, but only until to the point when they reach their forties.
According to the first bar chart, 80% of the students aged under 26 study for the purpose of career betterment, whereas, just below 10% of students in the same group study for pure interest. The gap between these proportions narrows as students get older, and the gap levels off when students reach their forites, at around 40% for each. Students that get over 49 overwhelmingly study for career (70%), while only 20% of students in this group study for interest.
Looking at the second bar chart, 60% of the students that aged under 26 seek support from their employers. As students age, the need for support decreaes, and it hits the lowest when students reach their thirties, at just above 40%. This figure slightly rises for students in their forties and 50 or above, standing approximately at 32% and 41%, respectively.
