The given figure compares the employment rate of women in working age in the period of 7 years from 2003.
Overall, women from five different countries were contemplated with stable changes. Regardless of the modifications, we can clearly see that the Icelandic actively registered into the labour market while the Turkish relatively lacked a tendency to work. Moreover, while most of the countries expected a rise in employment rate in the period of 2007 to 2009, Iceland and Turkey standed out as the nations having their percentage plummeted.
Considering the countries boasting a rise in the labour market’s female members, Chile and Germany showed the most significant increase, with both countries indicating a 5% escalation in women’s participation. A reverse trend, however, was shown in these two figures, with Chile’s statistics boosting in the first two years of the table, upsurging to 65%, while Germany’s data rising gradually in the last 5 years and culminating at roughly 40%. A more stable growth was regarded in Canada’s figure, indicating a slight shift in Canadian women’s willingness to work.
Assessing the other figures, we can see that Turkey and Iceland, showing data that was seemingly never jointed. Icelandic women, even though years had passed by, still relatively ranked first in terms of their contribution to the labour force. Although reduction was observed in the last two years of the period, interfering the nation’s linear trajectory, this country still showed the prevalence of women joining the workforce with an approximation of 8)5. Turkey, on the other hand, boasted a slight decrease in the end. Before reaching such, it had gone through an era of crisis with a downslope lasting until 2005. This country’s rate started to show sign of recovery at the end of the said year, marking it comeback to the race, but still relatively low and was formidably outstriped by the other nations.
