The graph details the level of male and female graduates in Canadian universities between 1992 and 2007. Whilst there was a large increase in graduates since 2001, the gap between the number of men and women also increased.
The level of men and women graduating from Canadian universities remained relatively stable between 1992 and 2001. In this time period, the level of female graduates fluctuated between 100,000 in 1992 and 103,000 in 2001, a pattern almost identical to that of male graduates. Male graduates, though, started at a much lower rate, 70,000, and reached maximum highs of around 75,000 up until 2001.
There was a large increase in the level of both male and female graduates in Canadian universities between 2001 and 2007 but the increase was more pronounced among women. The level of women graduates jumped from around 105,000 in 1992 to nearly 150,000 by 2007, whereas for men the increase was slightly less significant, with an increase from around 75,000 in 2001 to just over 96,000 in 2007.
