The given line graph compares the rate of 15-64 aged women having a job across five different nations from 2003 to 2009.
Overall, most countries witnessed an increase in employment for women over the period, except for Iceland, which declined, while Turkey fluctuated. Additionally, the percentage from Iceland was the highest throughout.
Regarding the increasing categories, the rate of Chilean women employees increased the most significantly from around 35% to 40% in the first 2 years, after which it grew minimally by just nearly 2% at the end of the period. Moreover, despite staying unchanged at the onset, the proportion from Germany rose from three-fifths to roughly 65% four years later. By 2003, around 70% of women in Canada had a job, and this percentage then climbed by just 1% throughout the period.
Concerning the remaining categories, in 2003, almost all Icelandic women were in the workforce, which is a whopping rate of roughly 80%. Subsequently, this percentage reached a plateau until 2007, which then plunged to just around 78% in 2009. Ultimately, from 2003 to 2005, the employment rate in Turkey underwent a downward trend, from about one-fourth to nearly one-fifth; after that, between 2005 and 2009, Turkish female workers had more opportunity to be employed, as the rate slowly went from 20% to its initial point at roughly 25%.
