The given line graph illustrates the proportion of Australians being recruited from 1976 to 2011 in different four groups.
Looking from an overall perspective, it is readily apparent that there was a downward trend in the percentage of workers in Australia among groups, except for women aged 18-34, which saw a significant increase over the given period.
In detail, the male 26-34 bracket was the leading choice of employers in Australia most of the time frame, accounting around 93% at the start of the period, but then this figure declined slightly to 89% in 2010. A similar pattern was seen in the proportion of men aged 18-25 who were employed, which stood at 75% before decreasing by roughly 8% in the final year of the span.
Conversely, there was an opposite trend among female employees. About 25% of women aged 26-34 were recruited in 1975, being the lowest employment choice in Australia. However, this figure experienced a remarkable increase, rising from over 50% to approximately 80% between 1980 and 2010, which exceeded male workers aged 18-25 in 2000. Similarly, the shares of the female 18-25 cohort increased from roughly 53% to over 60% during the shown period.
