The charts illustrate the percentages of men and women in both full-time and part-time employment in the United Kingdom in 1988 and 2012.
Overall, it can be seen that the total number of people who were paid to work for a company or organization in the UK in 2012 was higher than in 1988. In addition, the number of men who work both part-time and full-time is also higher than that of women.
In 1998, the number of men employed full-time was 12,539,000, which accounts for approximately half and nearly nine times more than the data for men working part-time, which is just 6%. Meanwhile, the figure for women working part-time was over a fifth and full-time was under a fifth, which stood at 22% and 19%, respectively.
By 2012, the statistics for men working full-time and women working part-time had decreased slightly by approximately 5%, while the opposite was true for the data for men working part-time and women working full-time. However, the total number of workers, both men and women, still witnessed an upward trend of about 6 million people over a 24-year period.
