The line graph illustrates the percentage of female workers aged 15-64 in five different countries from 2003 to 2009.
Overall, it is clear that most nations experienced gradual changes, with the exception of Turkey, which saw a slight fluctuation during the period. In addition, the proportion of women aged 15-64 in employment in Iceland was the highest, while the figure for Turkey was the lowest throughout the period.
Looking first at three nations, including Iceland, Canada, and Germany, the percentages of female employees aged 15-64 in these countries were around 80%, 70%, and 60%, respectively. After that, there was a slight decrease to roughly 75% in the figure for Iceland, while both Canada and Germany witnessed upward trends, with an increase to over 70% in the former, and a rise to over 60% in the latter from 2003 to 2009. Despite these changes, the ranking of these countries remained unchanged; Iceland topped the list, followed by Canada, and Germany ranked third in all years.
In terms of the remaining nations, the corresponding percentages of female workers aged 15-24 in Chile and Turkey were around 35% and roughly 25% in the first year. After 2 years, Chile saw a slight rise to around 40% in the proportion of women aged 15-64 in employment, while the figure for Turkey decreased moderately to around 20%. Over the following 4 years, the same patterns could be seen in the percentages of female employees aged 15-64 in both Chile and Turkey, with the former increasing slightly to around 40% and the latter recovering to about 23%. In spite of these changes, the figure for Turkey was ranked lowest throughout the period.
