The pie charts illustrate the information about the destinations of secondary school graduates in Australia over a period of 30 years.
Overall, it is obvious that the percentage of students who were in the pursuit of further education decreased. Also, unemployed students made up significantly low proportions at given period, whereas graduates who were able to find a job increased.
In 1980, half of the school leavers opted for continuing studying, and this figure went down considerably to 38% by 1990. At the same time, the percentage of leavers who were jobless rose marginally, constituting 12%. By contrast, the share of graduates who obtained a job went up to 50% exactly in 1990.
In the next decade, a rise was seen in the percentage of occupied school leavers by 2000, representing the highest figure in the charts. However, the proportions of graduates who were without a job and who wanted to pursue higher education declined by 4% and 1% respectively.
