The set of bar graph demonstrates the proportions of men and women in different age groups who studied in full time and part time in college education in the year 2006.
To begin with, in terms of male students, the majority of the young adults (20-24) preferred to study part-time, which accounted for 40%. Although, just 12% of young adults enrolled in full-time university education. 12% of teenagers (12-15) chose to study part-time, whereas 8% of teenagers opted for full-time college education. The ratio for part-time and full-time education among adults from 25-29 and 30+ was below one-tenth.
Shifting focus to female proportion, the ratio of young women (20-24) in part-time university education was higher than men by 2%. Similarly, the proportion of females in full-time was 1% higher than the males’ ratio. Nearly one-fifth (17%) of teenagers chose part-time to full-time, with just 7%. The university education in part-time and full-time by females aged 25-29 exhibited an identical ratio, which accounted for 8%. Those females who were over 30 chose to study full-time (12%); however, just 6% of women studied part-time.
Overall, it is clearly deduced that young adults in both categories preferred to attend college part-time, while over-30-year-old females and males chose to enroll in college education full-time.
