The pie charts present what the Australian secondary school students did just after graduation in three different decades.
Overall, while the share of the employed students more in two last presented years, at the first illustrated year the percentage of graduated students who chose further education was the highest.
It is seen from the chart that the proportion of employed school leavers makes up 53%, what is more than a half of the total by 2000. The percentage of those who continued studying and stayed unemployed accounts for 37% and 8% respectively. The highest percentage in 1990 also refers to employed students like in 2000, and school leavers, who had chosen further education, marked as the second the most chosen option comprised 38%. However, the proportion of unemployed graduated students is 4% higher, in comparison with 2000.
Compared with the other two shown years, the share of students, who decided to study further, is 50% of the total. However, the percentage of employed school leavers is still higher than unemployed by 30%, 40% and 10% accordingly.
