Reasons for studying and employer
support in the UK
The first bar graph examines whether
students of all ages study for a career or for personal interest while the
second chart shows which age group employers are willing to support by allowing
them time off work or assistance with tuition fees.
80% of students under 26 study in
order to pursue a career. This reason is not so important as students become
older. Approximately 20% of students over the age of 49 view this as relevant.
A reverse trend is seen in students who study for their personal interest. Only
10% of those under 26 do this. The percentage increases together with age and
70% of those over 49 study for interest. For the age group 40-49, those who
study for a career and those out of interest are equal (40%).
Employers are willing to support those
under 26 (60%), between 26 and 29 (50%) and those over 49 (42%). There is less
willingness to provide aid to those between 30 and 49 years of age. The
percentage for these two groups ranges between 30-32%.
In conclusion, more students are
studying for career than are studying for interest. At the end, employers
choose to support the younger age groups more.
