The bar chart demonstrates the results of a survey showing what a number of adults did after graduating from school between 2008 and 2012.
Overall, it is evident that there was little difference between the figures for those who looked for work and those who went to university. Furthermore, looking for work was the most common choice compared to the other categories.
Examining the details, taking a temporary break from education recorded the lowest figure, at 300, among young people, while the number of people who went to university stood at approximately 400 in 2011, similar to those who looked for work. However, this figure decreased to 300 at the end of the period. Likewise, the number of people who took a temporary break from education was slightly higher than those who went to university in the second year.
By contrast, looking for work accounted for a much higher proportion overall. Meanwhile, taking a temporary break from education showed a moderate figure compared to the other categories between 2010 and 2011.
