Section 3: Ongoing staff

Figure 8 shows the proportion of men and women with 10 or more years length of service by gender for each of the last 10 years. In 1994, 49.5% of men had at least 10 years of service compared to 32.1% of women. By 2003, the proportion for women had increased nearly nine percentage points to 40.9%, and the men’s figure was 50.8%. The peak for both men and women between 1997 and 2001 is due to the lower number of engagements (and subsequently fewer employees with shorter length of service) during that period.
