The bar chart delineates the proportion of Australian employees which was divided into two genders and three age groups in 1984, 2001 and 2014.
Overall, in three examined years, while the figure of Australian men in three age groups experienced a fluctuation, there was a significant increase in women’s. Moreover, both men and women between 35 to 44 years old had the highest employment rate throughout the period, except for the share of the employee women in 1984.
Regarding Australian men, teenagers remained relatively the same at around 60% of the people who were employed in two years, namely 1984 and 2001, before decreased rapidly and ended the period at just over 50%. Meanwhile, downward trends were seen in the older age, with the figure growing from 40% to roughly 43% after 17 years, then reaching a peak of approximately 62% in the last year. Noticeably, people between 35 and 44 years old accounted for the greatest percentage, with 80% and levelled off over the years.
Now turning to women, the youngest made up for the highest proportion at 60% of the employees in the first period and stabilized after 30 years. However, there was a dramatic rise in the 35-44 age group. The figure of American women who were employed began at nearly 60% in 1984, before saw a sharp climb to 70%, after which peaked at 80% in 2014. Similarly, in 1984, the oldest stood at 10%, then going up considerably to a half each year.
