The given bar chart illustrates what percentage of male and female students of different age groups studied in Australia for full-time and part-time education in 2006.
It is readily apparent that the proportion of students studied in Australia for part-time education stood out as the leading category, excepting for the 30+ age bracket. Notably, a significant disparity was observed for those in the 20-24 age group, with both genders chosen part-time education as a way for studying.
Turning to the figures, a considerable proportion of people aged 15 to 19 and 20 to 24 was selected part-time education for learning in Australia. Firstly, with the 15-19 age bracket, females students who selected part-time education consituted 17% while male students made up 12%, which was higher than the percentage of full-time education. Likewise, individuals between 20 and 40 years old who studied part-time education represented the high number, which was nearly three times higher than full-time education, with 42% and 40% for men and women, respectively.
Regarding those in the 25-29 age group, female students had identical figures for both methods, stood at 8%.However, with male students, the proportion of full-time education was lower at 6% compared to 8% for part-time education. In stark contrast, the percentage of the 30+ age bracket chosen full-time education was higher, double part-time education’s figure of 6% for female students and 2% higher than part-time education for male students.
