The line graph illustrates the percentage of women aged 15 to 64 who were employed in five countries — Iceland, Canada, Germany, Chile, and Turkey — over a 30-year period from 1965 to 1995.
Overall, Iceland had the highest female employment rates throughout the period, while Turkey consistently had the lowest. Most countries experienced either gradual increases or remained relatively stable over time.
In 1965, about 80% of women in Iceland were employed, which slightly declined to around 75% by 1995. Despite this drop, Iceland still remained the leading country in terms of women’s employment. Canada showed a moderate rise, increasing from approximately 60% to about 65%. Similarly, Germany saw a steady growth from nearly 55% to just above 60% over the same period.
In contrast, the figures for Chile and Turkey were considerably lower. Chile’s employment rate rose from around 35% in 1965 to just over 40% by 1995. Turkey, starting at roughly 30%, remained almost unchanged throughout, ending slightly above 30%.
