The bar charts compare four countries in terms of proportions of people aged 60-64 who were employed in 2000 and with projections for 2030. Overall, employment is relatively higher among men than women in all the countries in question. Notably, the figures for the percentage of 60 to 64-year-old employment among both genders are predicted to witness a noticeable decline across all nations, with the most dramatic being in Belgium.
The USA and Indonesia had relatively higher rates of working people at the age of 60 to 64, and it is predicted that this will be the case in 2030 as well. While around 80% of males and females worked at the age of 60-64 in America, the figure for Indonesians at the same age accounted for well over 80% for men and around 65% for women. It is expected that there will be a big disparity in this figure between males and females in the USA in 2030, the percentage of men being almost double that of the opposite gender, approximately 80% as opposed to just over 40%. Although the figure for Indonesians working after their 60 is anticipated to fall in 2030, like that of the USA, the discrepancy in the proportions of the two genders is likely to be pretty much the same, nearly 70% of men and half of the women continuing to work.
The figures for the people aged between 60 and 64 who had jobs in Japan and Belgium were lower compared to the other two countries, and they are expected to slide away in 30-year time. Whereas roughly 75% of men and 55% of women were employed in Japan in 2000, these proportions are foretold to experience respective decreases of about 25% and 7% in 2030. By contrast, Belgian men who were employed made up slightly lower than 80%, and it will be the case for this figure to fall considerably to about 50%. Female Belgians, on the other hand, accounted for a little over 60%, and it is predicted that there will be an exponential decline in their proportion, reaching a mere 9% in the end.
