The table and charts below give information about doctors in one country between 1986 and 2006. Summarize the information by describing the main features of the charts and making comparisons where appropriate.

Sample Answer
The provided graphics delineate doctor profiles in a specific country across the two-decade span from 1986 to 2006, shedding light numerical growth, gender composition, and cultural representation.
What is immediately striking upon inspection is the largely linear ascent in the number of registered doctors throughout the period. Equally noteworthy is the overwhelming and enduring male preponderance, albeit following a gradual downward trajectory. Furthermore, it is also apparent that cultural parity was only achieved in the final year of the timeline.
Focusing initially on the numerical progression, the total number of doctors stood at 23,720 in 1986. This figure rose markedly and consistently, increasing by approximately 7,000 every ten years to reach a culminating peak of 35,450 in 2006. This final tally represents a notable 50% surge compared to the initial count.
Turning to gender distribution, the data reveals a pronounced skew at the outset, with males comprising roughly 75% of the workforce—triple the proportion of their female counterparts. Over time, however, this gender disparity was incrementally narrowed, driven by divergent trajectories. Specifically, the percentage of male doctors dwindled steadily by around 5% per decade, reaching 60% in 2006, while the share of female practitioners rose commensurately, concluding at 40%.
Lastly, regarding place of birth, a reciprocal pattern emerged. In both 1986 and 1996, Australian-born doctors accounted for approximately 65% and 60% respectively, with a corresponding rise in overseas-born professionals. This gradual rebalancing culminated in 2006, when cultural equilibrium was attained—each group representing exactly half of the medical workforce.
