National Census Report 2001, St. Vincent and the Grenadinespredominantly male occupations. As more females moved into the traditional male occupationstheir opportunities for training increased.Further analysis of those who received training indicates that as the age increased after 44 years,the likelihood of being trained decreased. This is a reflection of the availability and/or access totraining programmes when this age group was younger compared to the present. Only 6.68 percent of those who received training were in the (15-19) age group. Many in this age group werestill in secondary school, or at sixth form or university.Therefore, it is likely that the majority who had received training in the 15-19 age group did notcomplete primary or secondary level education. Although males were more likely than femalesto have received training, females in the 20-34 age group were more likely to have receivedtraining compared to males in the same age group, 43.81 and 38.60 per cent respectively.Nevertheless, the number of males in this age group that received training was higher than thatfor the females.2.9 Status in EmploymentIn 2001, the majority of the employed persons in St. Vincent and the Grenadines were paidprivate employees 54.01 per cent (Table 2.8).
