The bar graph illustrates the number of people employed in a European country in 2013, categorized by gender and age group. The figures are measured in thousands, and the age range spans from 15 to 75 and above.
Overall, men were employed in significantly higher numbers than women across most age groups, with the exception of the youngest category. The highest level of male employment was observed in the 40 to 44 age group. In contrast, employment rates for both genders declined sharply after the age of 60.
In detail, male employment peaked at around 570,000 in the 40–44 age group, whereas the highest figure for female employment was slightly below 500,000 in the same category. Interestingly, in the 15 to 19 age group, more females were employed than males, with approximately 290,000 women compared to just under 270,000 men.
From the age of 20 to 59, male workers consistently outnumbered their female counterparts. Both groups experienced a gradual decline in employment figures from the age of 60 onwards. The 75+ age group had the lowest participation in the workforce, with fewer than 10,000 men and women employed.
