The pie charts compare data on what secondary school students did after their studies.
Overall, it is evident that the proportion of students in employment increased, while the percentage pursuing further education decreased. Interestingly, the share of unemployed students fluctuated slightly.
Moving to a more detailed analysis, the percentage of employed students accounted for 40% in 1980; then it went up significantly, representing half of the total a decade later. In addition, 2000 saw a noticeable rise in the number of students who got jobs after finishing secondary school.
As regards the proportion of students who decided to obtain further education, it declined noticeably over twenty years, while the percentage of unemployed students remained unstable. The share of unemployed students was one-fifth of that of students pursuing further education in 1980. Moreover, despite the fact that the number of students who could not get jobs after school peaked at 12% in 1990, there was a slight drop to 8% by the end of the period. The percentage of learners gaining higher education in 2000 was slightly lower than that of 1990.
