The bar graphs compare the employment rates of men and women across three different countries in 2005 and 2015.
Firstly, the proportion of employed men witnessed various trends from each nation. To begin with, approximately 60 percent was the initial percentage of men who worked in Canada in 2005, before rising to just above 70 percent in 2015. Next, South Korea recorded a relatively stable rate of the men employed, staying consistently at around 75 percent from 2005 to 2015. Lastly, the percentage of men who were in work in Sweden experienced a gradual decline. It started the highest, standing at just below 80 percent in 2005, to roughly 70 percent 10 years later.
Conversely, all the women employment rates experienced a more stable growth across the countries. In Canada, the portion of women who have a job surged from around 38 percent to just about 55 percent in 2015. Other than that, both South Korea and Sweden recorded a 5 percent increase from the initial 30 percent and 45 percent in the proportion of women who were employed over the ten-year period.
Overall, the ratio of women working in Canada, South Korea, and Sweden underwent better and more steady growth compared to that of men.
