The table above portrays the rate of employment in both men and women in fields such as catering, banking, Manufacturing and industry, and education. These statistics are recorded from 1986 until 2006 in a 20 year interval.
The men in the catering fields experienced a sharp increase from 16% to 22% during a 10 year interval and remains at a fairly constant rate in the remaining 10 years from 1996 to 2006 while the percentages of women stagnated and absolutely no growth happened across 20 years. Men in the banking field however, had an uproar from 11% to 20% from 1986 to 1996 and a really miniscule jump from 20% to 21% in the remaining 10 years which compared to women, had a less increase on average. Unlike men, women went from 12% to 16% in the span of 10 years instead of a 9% increase but in the next 10 years, instead of the 1% bump in men, women went up by 3% from 16% to 19%.
In the manufacturing industry, rather than the number skyrocketing in the last 2 fields, both gender’s percentages went down astronomically, in the span of 10 years, the percentage of men went downhill from 32% to 21% which is an 11% decrease and in the following decade, the percentage 21% to 17%. While the women experienced a much larger decline on average, with the percentage going from 18% to 12% in the first 10 years and going from 12% to 6% in the upcoming decade, compared to the men, women experienced a decline up to 3 times compared to its original value in 1986. In contrary to the education field, the men went up from 13% to 14% in the first decade and also experiencing yet another 1% increase which is 14% to 15% in the following decade, which on average, is a far smaller percentage compared to women, with it’s numbers going up from 33% to 35% from 1986 to 1996 and 35% to 38% in the next 10 years.
