The charts below show the main reasons for study among students of different age groups

and the amount of support they received from employers.
The two bar charts illustrate the reasons for study provided by
students
according to
their age and how many
support
they received from employers (in terms of time off and help with fees).
Overall
, it can be seen that a huge majority of young
students
has chosen to study for
career
purposes,
whereas
a small portion of them studies “for interest”;
on the contrary
, “interest” is the main reason for study provided by older
students
.
According to
the graph, the
support
is high for young
students
, it declines for middle-aged
students
and
then
increases again for older
students
. 80% of
students
under 26 studies for
career
while
just 10% does it for interest. Ageing, the trend is inverted: the chart shows that only 20% of
students
over 49 years studies for
career
whilst 70% of them does it for interest. The
career
reason declines gradually over the years.
while
the interest reason grows constantly. For what concerns the
second
chart,
students
under 26 are the ones with more
support
: more than 60% of them has been helped with time off or with fees.
Then
the
support
declines: just around 30% of
students
between 30 and 39 received some kind of help.
After
this
, the percentage rises again: nearly 45% of
students
over 49 received some
support
.
