The bar chart illustrates the various levels of qualifications obtained after school in Australia, and the corresponding percentages of males and females who achieved them in 1999.
The chart reveals a clear gender disparity across all qualification levels, with women generally having a higher proportion of post-school qualifications than men. However, there are exceptions to this trend in certain categories.
In terms of specific details, women significantly outnumbered men in Skilled Vocational Diplomas, with around 50% of women holding this qualification compared to just over 30% of men. A similar situation was observed in Undergraduate Diplomas, where women constituted approximately 70% of the holders. Conversely, men were more likely to have a Postgraduate Diploma, with around 90% of men possessing this qualification against a mere 10% of women.
In the remaining categories, namely Bachelor's Degree and Masters Degree, the proportions of men and women were relatively similar. For the Bachelor's Degree, the figures were roughly 50% for both genders, while for the Master's Degree, men slightly outnumbered women by a small margin.
