- Illustrating is about giving an example. Here the data ‘shows’ or ‘displays’. Note that ‘to illustrate’ is not a universal synonym for ‘to show’
- “As well as” and “and” mean the same thing. Leave one of them and get rid of the other one
- “… while women, in contrast with men/males…” – the word ‘male’ here is an adjective and shouldn’t be used with the noun ‘women’.
- ‘Favoured’ is the word that should be used here
- We are missing a noun here. “General workers/labourers”
- Please make sure not to repeat the same adjective twice, especially so close to one another
