The bar graph illustrates the proportion of male and female lecturers in seven departments of a particular university in 2012.
Overall, the majority of staff were men, with engineering having the highest share of male teachers and the lowest of females, while the figures for medicine were relatively the same in both genders.
Regarding categories with males dominating, just over 80% of men taught engineering, four times higher than their female counterparts. However, this gap narrowed in the law sector, with 60% of men and 40% of women. Meanwhile, experts in the business and science departments constituted comparably for both sexes, with about 65% of men and 35% of women.
Concerning the remaining sections, just over three-quarters of staff in the education division were females, around twice the male group. Conversely, just more than half of women accounted for staff in the faculty of arts, slightly higher than the female cohort (just over 40%). Finally, the rate of staff specialised in medicine in both genders was near parity, at 50% each.
