The line graph illustrates the student colleges of both genders graduated in Canada from 1992 to 2006.
Generally, there was a huge gap between the number of male and female college graduates, in which females graduated was constantly greater than males over 14 years. Although the two genders experienced a substantial difference in the number of graduates, they seemed to have a similar direction of change, and there was an upward trend for both males and females.
In 1992, the number of females finishing the university program started with just under 100,000 graduates and rose slightly to over 100,000 until 1995 before falling back to 100,000 in 1998. Despite the fact that male graduates were lower than females by approximately 30,000 students, the fluctuation trend in male group was almost the same as the female group between 1992 and 1998.
After 1998, there was a surge in the number of females graduating and from then on, it continued to increase for the remaining periods. On the other hand, male graduating numbers had a small fluctuation after 1998 until 2002. Nonetheless, by 2006, those two groups of gender had occurred a generally upwards trend. Particularly, the number of female graduates peaked at nearly 150,000 students graduating, which was higher by half than that of the male group.
