Overall

, it can be seen that the oldest people were the least qualified,

whereas

the youngest group was the most educated. Another interesting thing is that older women had more qualifications than men,

while

the younger females were not as qualified as the males. In terms of the most unqualified group, women and men between 50 and 59/64 had the most unqualified members, with 20% and just over 17%, respectively. The second most uneducated men and females were between 40 and 49 years old, with 10% and around 12%, respectively.

Regarding groups 17-19 years old and 20 to 24-year-olds, they had the least unqualified members, at around 6 and 7% for females, and about 7 and 9% for males, respectively.
