The provided graph illustrates the employment rates of men and women across four different nations in the year 2002.
Overall, it is clear that male workers made up a larger percentage than females everywhere, although the gap varied between the countries.
In South Africa, the employment landscape reveals a notable gender disparity approximately 50% of women were working, whereas the proportion for men was a bit less, hovering around 40%. Chile mirrors this trend, with roughly 35% of women employed, contrasting with about 30% of men. Both nations present the lowest overall employment rates when considering the data.
Finland and Norway presented a different picture, boasting significantly stronger employment rates for both men and women.

Around 80% of Norwegian men were working, and women weren’t far behind, with roughly 75% employed. This resulted in Norway having the narrowest gender disparity in employment.
