The graph above shows the percentage of male and female students of four different age groups who studied in full-time and part-time in a particular country in 2006.
Overall, part-time enrollment peaked among 20-to-24-year-olds of both genders at an average of roughly 40%, with females slightly outnumbering males by a margin of 2%.
Among male students, part-time coursework exceeded in all age groups except 30+ years where there were 2% more males doing full time courses. Both full-time and part-time education saw substantial uptake among 20-to-24-year-old males. However, part-time students significantly outnumbered their full-time counterparts by 28 percentage points. In the later age groups, the part-time registerations were virtually unchanged rounding about 8%.
Part-time registerations among female students were common in late teens to early twenty age brackets. Similar to male, females in 30+ age group have more full-time course registerations than part-time. With the age bracket of 25-29 years old females, the registerations remained the same at 8%.
