the bar chart shows the number of hours worked per week by men and women in Australia.

The given bar chart illustrates and compares the distribution of working

hours

among

males

and

females

in Australia, measured in percentages.

Overall

, it is obvious that Australian

men

devote more

hours

per

week

to their careers compared to

women

.

Nonetheless

,

both

genders predominantly spend between 30 and 50

hours

a

week

on employment, which represents the most common range. Equally important, a small proportion of

both

males

and

females

work exceptionally long

hours

, exceeding 80

hours

per

week

. On the lower end of the spectrum, less than a fifth of

women

work 0 to 10

hours

per

week

,

while

the corresponding percentage for

men

is slightly lower.

Similarly

, over 20% of

females

and around 12% of

males

are working in the 10 to 20-hour category.

Conversely

, the disparity becomes more pronounced in the 30- to 50-hour range, where over two-fifths of

men

are employed weekly, nearly 8% more than

women

, who comprise approximately 35%.

This

range represents the peak working

hours

for

both

genders. Moving to the higher brackets,

although

the proportion of

males

working 60 to 80

hours

per

week

exceeds that of

females

, the

overall

percentage declines gradually for

both

groups. Specifically, 30% of

men

and about 18% of

women

fall into

this

category.

Furthermore

, approximately one in ten

males

and

females

in Australia work over 80

hours

per

week

.
