The provided graphs illustrate the proportion of both genders involved in full and part-time occupations in Australia between 1973 and 1993
Overall, males were likely to take part in part-time in their youth, females tended to follow a similar pattern fairly in both types of work. As can be seen from the graphs, the majority of the figures experienced growth over the two decades.
Regarding to the full-time jobs, the figures for both men and women aged from 15 to 29 went up simultaneously by 5% to 60% in two different years. Specially, there was a positive corelation for men between 1993 and 1973, as figures soared sharply from the age group of 15-19 to the afterwards despite a slight drop through 20-year period. During the middle age groups, while men were consistent over the period, women expected potentiality of a likely downward trend, from the peak at a point in the ages of 20-24 in both years, the proportion observed a steady fall to 40% in 1993, as well as 30% in 1973. Ultimately, the shares of both sexes plummeted remarkably from the age group of 45-49 onwards over the 20-year period.
To turn to part-time work, more women took part in this kind of work than men did. Begining with the young group, the females shares were higher than the other by 10% in the same year, while in 1973 both genders had similarity in the percentages for approximately 8%. The proportion for women went up moderately over the ages throughout the two decades then it made significant tops at the ages of 35-39 before undergoing a steady decrease over the following age groups, whereas men’s figures showed a steady decrease across the subsequent age ranges over the two periods before an inverse pattern was observed at the point of age 60 and over.
