The graph below shows the percentage of female students on four different courses at one university from 1970 to 2015
The provided line graph offers a comparative analysis of the percentage of female
students
enrolled in four different academic fields—computer science
, physics
, medicine
, and law—over a period of 45 years, from 1970 to 2015.
Overall
, the data depicts a general upward trend in the percentage of female students
in the disciplines of physics
, medicine
, and law, with the latter showing a particularly remarkable rise to almost complete representation by the end of the period. Computer science
, however
, presents an anomaly with a peak followed by a pronounced decline.
In 1970, law
recorded the smallest proportion of female Correct article usage
the law
students
, under 10%, but this
figure experienced a swift and substantial increase, surpassing all other subjects by 1975. The trend continued, culminating in near-total female representation in law by 2015. Medicine
and physics
began with similar percentages, around 25% for medicine
and slightly above for physics
. However
, medicine
saw a steeper ascent, overtaking physics
by 1990 and progressing to just under 85% by the end of the timeframe. Physics
followed a steadier route, reaching roughly 80%.
Conversely
, computer science
demonstrated a unique pattern; starting at about 25%, it saw a steep climb until it reached a peak at approximately 75% in the late 1980s. This
was followed by a dramatic downturn, with percentages falling to just over the initial value by 2015.
The data clearly illustrates not only the increasing inclination of female students
towards these subjects but also
the volatility in the field of computer science
, suggesting shifting societal or industry trends over the 45-year span.Submitted by evitaseptianasudiyanto on
