The given illustrations depict the post-secondary qualifications possessed by Canadians in the age ranges of 25 to 35 and 45 to 55. Broadly speaking, it is evident that social science, arts was the most popular degree in both age groups.
Looking the figures in detail, social science, arts, almost equally popular in both age groups, comprised one-fifth of the surveyees in both age groups respectively. Administration was more popular among young people (19%) compared to that in the older group (15%). Similarly, 15% of the younger individuals studied education, which was 2 percentage points more than that of the older generation.
What gains the most interest is that there is a significant difference in the proportion of people studying science, maths, computers and engineering. Science, maths, computers, marked as an unpopular study in the older group (10%), gained a doubled attention among younger people (18%). While science, maths, computer study was more popular among younger individuals, mere 9% of the younger people studied engineering, which is a half of the other ones. Meanwhile, the proportion of individuals studying humanities, nursing, MBA and other degrees in both age groups are roughly similar in figures, ranging from 2-11% respectively with only minimal differences.
