The pie chart presents a comparative analysis on what the students did in 1980, 1990 and 2000 after finishing secondary school in Australia, quantified in percentage.
It is evident from the data that employment was in a positive trend and the choice of higher education decreased gradually over a span of 30 years. However, the rate of unemployment remained fluctuating.
The number of youngsters choosing to work demonstrated a growth trajectory, it started at 40% in 1980 and gradually raised to 50% in 1990 and 55% in 2000, making this the most chosen activity after leaving secondary school. On the other hand, the ones who chose to advance in studies showed a negative trend. in 1980, almost half the group chose further studies, which reduced drastically to only 38% in 1990 and eventually declined to 37% in 2000.
Unemployment remained unstable throughout the period, it stood at at rate of 10 % in 1980 and ascended to 12% in 1990. Suprisingly the rate of unemployment droped to 8% in 2000. Ultimately the Australian youths get employed instead of advancing in education which can bring drown the level of literacy in the future.
