The line chart illustrates the employment proportion by four education levels in the UK in recent years, as well as how it was forecasted in the following years.
Overall, it is evident that the Master’s degree and Bachelor’s degree have a tendency to increase between 1990 and 2025, while High school and No school certificate are likely to witness a decrease over the period. Additionally, Master’s degree is expected to have the most noticeable changes.
According to the line graph, individuals with a Bachelor’s degrees experience a substantial growth, reaching its peak at around 14% in 2000. However, this number then experiences a slight decrease to 8% before hitting the peak again. In addition, Bachelor’s degree is projected to go up in 2025 after falling to roughly 9% in 2015. Meanwhile, Master’s degree, although accounting for 5% in 2000 and 10% in 2005, is still lower than the Bachelor’s ones. Nevertheless, it becomes the most common certification people acquired in the upcoming years since it experiences a negligible rise from 2010 to 2025.
Despite starting at a relatively similar level as the first two degrees, the proportion of people finishing high school declines considerably over the next 35 years. Individuals without any school certificate undergo a similar pattern to the former, going down substantially between 1990 and 2025.
