The charts below present the major purposes for learning among students of various age groups and the total of aid they received from their boss.
The first chart shows the reason for studying according to age of student. Approximately 80 per cent at the age of under 26 years old learn for career. However, there is a slight fall in proportion of students learning for career. For example, only 40 percent of 40-49 years old students learn for career and this proportion fells to a dip in late adulthood, which is 19 percent.
Conversely, the pendulum swings in the proportion of students study for interest. There is only 10 percent of under 26 years old studying for interest. This proportion increases dramatically in defferent age groups and reaches 40 percent (equal to the proportion of students study for career) when they are between 40-49 years old. In late adulthood, 70 percent of over 49 years old study for interest in comparison to 18 percent studying for career reasons.
The second graph shows that employer support is maximum approximately 60 percent for the under 26 years old. There is a gradual decrease in the proportion, which reaches 30 percent at the age of 30-39 years old. It improves slowly to 40 percent in late adulthood.
In conclusion, there is a different in the proportion of students study for career and interest. In addition, employer support also varies.
