The graph illustrates the number of university graduates, of both genders, in Canada between 1992 and 2007.
Throughout this period, female graduates consistently outnumbered their male counterparts by a significant margin. As can be seen from the graph, there were roughly 100,000 women graduates in 1992, while the number of male graduates lagged behind at slightly over 70,000, showing a noticeable gap. This trend persisted throughout the years, with the gap widening further over time. Since the turn of the new millennium, the number of female graduates showed a noticeable rise, reaching around 150,000 by 2007, while male graduates also increased but at a slower pace, peaking at approximately 95,000.
Despite the disparity in numbers, both genders share some similarities in their overall trends. For instance, the number of graduates for both men and women experienced gradual growth between 1992 and 2000, followed by a more rapid increase from 2000 onwards. Additionally, both genders showed slight fluctuations in graduate numbers during the mid-1990s before resuming steady growth.
