The horizontal bar chart depicts the number of employed men and women in percentage in three different countries in the year of 2005 and the year of 2015.
Overall, men held higher employment rates than women in every country in the two years of the study.
In the year of 2005, Sweden saw the highest numbers of employed people with men averaging around 78% and women being around 45%. South Korea had the lowest number of women working at that time at 30%, while Canada had the least males working at just 61%.
Ten years later the employment rates had changed drastically. South Korea held the highest rates for males at almost 80%. Canada also saw an increase in numbers, especially in women employment rate, rocketing to 55%, which was also the highest in any of the countries examined. Sweden noticed a decrease in male workers as their percentage fell by 8%, getting to 70%, the same as the male employment in Canada at this time.
