Interpreting “Sex differences in social wellbeing outcomes, selected indicators, 2012–2014”
  • The inner circle Inner circle represents mean outcomes for males.
  • The spokes The spokes represent mean outcomes for females.
  • Where a spoke falls outside the circle, the outcome for females is better than the outcome for males. Where a spoke falls inside the circle, the outcome for females is worse than the outcome for males.

Note: In some cases, the data is averaged over the three years in each period. Only indicators where comparisons can be made between females and males have been included.

Limitations: This style of presentation means that direct comparisons in the size of sex differences for different indicators cannot be made. Users should refer to the indicator section for more information. While a radial chart may indicate a change or difference in outcomes, the change may not be statistically significant. This will often be true for indicators that fall on, or close to, the central circle.
