The table illustrates the percentages of males and females employed in four different types of industries: Retail/Shop, Health, Manufacturing, and Tourism during the years 1990, 2000, and 2010.
Overall, female employment has increased each year, while male employment has remained relatively stable, with some fluctuations. For example, in the tourism sector, the percentage of female employees has risen significantly compared to males, who have shown little change over the years.
In 1990, the percentage of males employed in manufacturing was over 30%, but by 2000, this figure declined to 15%, representing a decrease of nearly half. Employment in Retail and Shop sectors remained stable, with no significant changes, maintaining a 13% employment rate for males. However, in the Health sector, male employment began to increase again by 2010. In the tourism industry, male employment started at 13% in 1990, but decreased to 10% in subsequent years.
Conversely, female employment began to grow gradually each year across all sectors. In manufacturing, however, the percentage of female employees fell to 3% by 2010. In the Retail and Shop sectors, female employment increased by only 1% each decade. During the same period, female employment in the Health sector saw a rise of 6%. In tourism, women’s employment increased by 2% every 10 years.
