The bar chart shows the proportion of male and female workers in three age groups over three different years: 1984, 2001, and 2014.
Overall, men consistently accounted for the largest share of the workforce compared to women in all years and all age groups. However, at certain times, the number of male and female workers was roughly equal. Furthermore, the older age group consistently had the lowest labor force share in both genders. Additionally, the younger age group showed no significant change in employment figures for either gender.
In the 60-64 age group, the labor force share was 40% in 1984. This share continued to increase to 41% until reaching 60% in 2001 and 2014. Furthermore, the 15-19 age group had the highest labor force share at 61%, then slightly decreased to 60% in 1984 and 2001. On the other hand, the number of workers in the 35-44 age group remained stable at 80% throughout the three years.
Meanwhile, the female labor force share in the 15-19 age group accounted for 60% in 1984 and remained stable throughout this period. Furthermore, the proportion of female workers increased steadily in 1984, 2001, and 2014 from 59% to 70%, stabilizing at 80% in the 35-44 age group. Finally, the proportion of women aged 60-64 was lowest at 10%, then slightly increased to 20% between 1984 and 2001. However, this proportion remained low in other age groups, but eventually rose to 41%.
