The bar charts compare the proportions of employed males and females across three different countries (South Korea, Canada, and Sweden) in two particular years 2005 and 2015.
Overall, it is clear that in all three countries the rates of male employment were considerably higher than those of females during both years. Additionally, while the percentage of working individuals generally experienced an upward trend over the ten-year period, the figure for women workers showed more noticeable growth.
Looking at male employment, South Korea accounted for the highest figures, starting at roughly 75% in 2005 and rising slightly to around 78% by 2015. Similarly, Canada also rose, where the proportion of working men grew from just over 60% to 70%. In contrast, Sweden was the only country where the male employment rate declined, dropping from approximately 80% to 70% over the decade.
In terms of female employment, at the beginning, the proportions were below 50% in all nations but then showed progress by 2015. The most significant increase occurred in Canada, where the rate of female employees climbed from about 38% to around 55%, whereas the percentage for Swedish women also reached 50% in 2015. However, South Korean women had the lowest index, growing only slightly from 30% to just 35%.
