The line graph illustrates the female population difference in enrollment rates between four subjects including Computer science, Physics and Medicine and Law in a range of 45 years between 1972 and 2015.
Overall, all courses had a significant rise except for computer science. The most superior increase was medicine and law while the lower ones include physics and computer science.
In terms of computer science, the percentage of female students commenced at 25% in 1970, reaching a peak of 35% in 1985. However, this was not sustained, as the proportion significantly declined to 20% by 2005. In the following decade, a mild recovery was observed, with female enrollment in this course increasing to 25% by 2015. Conversely, physics displayed a consistent increase; starting from a modest 10% in 1970, the percentage of female students escalated steadily and culminated at 40% in 2015, indicating a robust interest in the subject over the decades.
The rise for medicine was significant, beginning at 25% in 1970 and surpassing the 50% by 1995. It peaks at just above 75% by 2015, demonstrating a significant rise in female participation in this field. Similarly, the law course showcased a positive trend, starting from 10% in 1970, the female student percentage broke the 50% mark between 1990 and 1995, concluding the period with approximately a little under 60% in 2015, emphasizing an increased enrollment in law.
