The bar charts compare the proportions of two genders in terms of various age groups and status of their studies, such as full-time and part-time education in Australia in 2006. Overall, both genders preferred mostly part-time studies across all ages, while students who were over 30 were the only exception. Notably, while part-time education peaked among students aged 20-24 of both genders, female students topped the chart, which illustrated higher indications than males.
The proportion of part-time female students who were in their teenage years (15-19) was at 17%. However, males started from much lower, around 12%, before rising dramatically to 40% and females to a whopping 42% among 20-24 aged students. The educational statuses of males and females aged between 25-29 were equal, showing 8% in both categories except males, who accounted for 6% in full-time students. By contrast, the reverse is true for part-time adult female students (around over 30).
In fact, full-time education was not becoming as common as part-time education among students. For instance, the percentage of male teenagers stood at 8%, which is bigger by 1% than females. By contrast, males aged between 20-24 were around 12%, which is 1% smaller than females. Female students over 30 years old who were involved in full-time education have been observed at 12% compared to male ones, where they stood at much lower, around 10%.
