The bar charts illustrate the proportion of both gender students from different age categories who studied in Australia for full-time and part-time education in 2006.
Overall, it is clear that the 20-24 age group in both males and females accounted for the highest proportion of part-time and full-time in the charts. In contrast, the 25-29 age group in males made up the least, whereas the 30+ age group account for the least proportion in terms of part-time and the 15-19 age group accounted for 7% as for full-time
Starting with dominant groups, the 20-24 age group in both males and females students have dominated in both charts, standing at 40% and 42%, 12% and 13% in part-time and full-time, respectively.
Regarding the rest groups, females are slightly higher than males in the figure for part-time in the 15-19 age group and softly lower than males in terms of full-time, at 5% and 1%, respectively. The 25-29 age group in females remained stable in both genders, at 8% while the figure for males is smoothly lower as for full-time data. Ultimately, the 30+ age group in male students are slightly larger in terms of part-time and softly smaller than females students as for full-time figures, at 2% each.
