Reasons for studying and
employer support in the UK
The bar charts compare students of
different ages in terms of why they are studying and whether they are supported
by an employer.
It is clear that the proportion of students who study for career purposes is far higher among the younger age groups, while the oldest students are more likely to study for interest. Employer support is more commonly given to younger students.
Plus, around 80% of students aged under 26 study to further their careers, whereas only 10% study purely out of interest. The space between these two proportions narrows as students get older, and the figures for those in their forties are the same, at about 40%. Students aged over 49, study for interest, 70%, rather than for career reasons, less than 20%
In conclusion over 60% of students aged under 26 are supported by their employers; in contrast, the 30-39 age group is the most self-sufficient.
