As is observed from the given data, female Australians were outnumbered by male in postgraduate degree and skilled vocational diploma.
.
Overall, males indicated a crucial proportion of specialists in advanced education in Australia – master’s degree, post-graduation diploma and vocational education, and their educational qualification was ahead of females.
.
As a whole, men were ahead of women in terms of their highest educational qualifications in Australia, and three out of five types of post-school educational qualifications, namely – post-graduate diploma, skilled vocational diploma and masters degree, were mostly attended by men.
.
Overall, more males had skilled vocational diploma, post graduate diploma and master’s degree than females, whereas the proportion of females with undergraduate diploma and Bachelor’s degree was higher than that of men with these degrees.

According to the graph, out of hundred skilled vocational diploma holders in Australia, 90 were men and rests of the 10 were female. Female undergraduate diploma holders were almost double than the male undergraduate degree holders and the number for female with bachelor degree holders were more than male bachelor degree holders in this year. This was possibly because many female did not continue their postgraduate and Master’s degree while most men did. As a consequence, in case of post-graduation and Master’s level education, men outnumbered the female.
In case of post graduate diploma degree, men were 70 out of hundred compared to the 30 female. This information shows that Australian men were more interested in perusing postgraduate diploma than female did. Finally the gap between female and male Master’s degree holder reduced and their ratio was 6 by 4 in this year.

In details, those who had a post-graduate diploma and Master’s degree were dominated by 70% and 60% men respectively. The ratio of women who had post-graduation qualification was much lower. Another important aspect of the graph is that there was a remarkable number of men, 90%, who took up a ‘skilled vocational diploma course’ which left women to only just a tenth. Since men continued their education and achieved post-graduate qualifications, females with an undergraduate diploma much outweighed the ratio of males. Finally, the proportion of male whose highest education was a bachelor’s degree was about 45%, whereas the females’ ratio was somewhat more than that.
.
.
Around 90% of men had skilled vocational diploma as opposed to only 10% of women who had this diploma. While 70% of males had post graduate diploma only 30% of females possessed the same qualification in 1999. By contrast, around 70% of females held undergraduate diploma and this figure was twice as much as that of males (35%) who possessed this qualification. Similarly, the proportion of females with Bachelor’s degree was slightly higher than the proportion of males with the same degree. There were around 55% of females with Bachelor’s degree while around 48% of males had this degree.
