Distribution of Vocational School Graduates in Austria – Gender distribution by field

A  visualization showing the distribution of vocational school graduates in Austria, focusing on both fields of study and gender distribution.

   • Information Technology is also significant (12.8%)
   • Other important fields include Tourism & Hospitality (10.4%) and Health & Social Care (8.6%)
2. Gender Distribution by Field (right chart):

   • Reveals significant gender disparities across vocational fields
   • Technical fields are heavily male-dominated:
     • Engineering & Manufacturing: 87.2% male
     • Information Technology: 82.5% male
   • Care-oriented fields are predominantly female:
