The chart gives information about post-school qualifications in terms of different levels of further education reached by men and women in Australia in 1999.

Overall, there were substantial differences in the proportion of men and women at different levels. Men had the majority in both the lower and higher categories, while women had the majority in the intermediate categories.

Referring to the lowest category (skilled vocational diploma level), men dominated with a ninefold advantage over their female counterparts (90% versus 10% respectively). At the highest categories (postgraduate diploma and master’s degree level) the difference was less pronounced, although still substantial (70% and 60% respectively).

In the categories where women had the highest proportion, the lead was significant at undergraduate level (70%), but only marginal at Bachelor’s degree level (approximately 55%)

*There appears to be an error in the data for the undergraduate diploma level, because the percentages for women and men add up to more than 100%. For this analysis, it is assumed that the numbers are 70% and 30% respectively.
