The bar chart compares male and female students in Australia in terms of their fields of study in the year of 1995.
Arts and Humanities was the most popular subject among women, with nearly 20% of Australia female chose this subject in 1995, while the percentage of male students studied this was smaller (around 13%). The proportion of women majored in Health was significantly larger than their male counterparts, with a figure of 15% and less than 5% respectively. On the contrary, the difference between the figures for male and female enrolled in Business Studies was much more trivial (8% and 9% respectively). Education also has more female students than males.
The widest gap was seen in Engineering: there are about 19 per cent of men enrolled, which was almost ten-fold of the percentage of women (around 2%). In fields like Computing and Math and Sciences, male students remarkably outnumbered female students as well. 10 per cent of men chose Computing as their major, while women who did the same only accounted for less than 5 per cent of the total female population. And in terms of Maths and Sciences, the proportion of male and female was 14% and 7% respectively.
Overall, female students in Australia were more inclined to enter fields like Art and Humanities, Health, and Education, while majors like Engineering, Computing, and Math and Sciences were more ideal for men.
