The bar chart represents the different levels of post-school

qualifications

in Australia and the proportion of men and women who held them in 1999. The vertical axe shows five different

qualifications

diploma

diploma

qualifications

. In 1999, there was a significantly large number nearly 90% of men, who got skilled vocational diplomas,

while

in

this

field only 10% of females participated.

Also

, males were dominated in achieving Postgraduate diplomas and Master’s degrees, where they had still a huge advantage of approximately 70% compared to women’s 60%.

However

, 70% of females had the opportunity to obtain an Undergraduate

diploma

,

whereas

merely 35% of males had the same

qualifications

.

In addition

, women were

also

leaders in Bachelor’s degrees by 55% but slightly low 45% of men tried to demonstrate their ability in

this

area.
