This graph shows that the proportion of men who did not complete their high school diploma decreases in all age groups, including among the elderly. Between 1990 and 2004, the proportion of men 65 years of age and over who did not complete their high school diploma fell from 63% to 47%. However, the number of elderly men who earned a university degree during this time rose considerably, from around 7% to 13%. In the 55 to 64 age group, the proportion of male university graduates increased from approximately 10% to 20%.
