The table illustrates the proportion of employed males and females in various sectors in a particular nation from 1986 to 2006. Looking from an overall perspective, it is readily apparent that the employment statistics across all four sectors for both men and women grew over the period in question, with the exception of the manufacturing industry for both genders and the catering industry for females. Women tended to work in the education sector during this timeframe, whereas men showed a stronger preference for the manufacturing and catering industries.
In 1986, the percentage of male workforce in the manufacturing sector was highest at 32%, followed by catering at 16%, education at 13%, and finally banking at 11%. Between 1986 and 2006, the proportions of workers in the catering, banking, and education sectors all witnessed upward trends, with catering increasing slightly to 22% and becoming the most common area of employment, banking rising most considerably to 22%, and education growing to 15%. In contrast, the manufacturing sector’s data plummeted to a mere 17%.
Concerning female employment figures, the education sector was most prevalent at 33%, with catering, manufacturing, and banking trailing behind at 26%, 18%, and 12%, respectively. Over the following two decades, there was growing interest in the banking and education sectors, with the former recording an increase to 19% and the latter to 38%. On the other hand, the data for female employment in the catering industry remained unchanged at 26%, while that of the manufacturing industry fell by two-thirds to reach 6%.
