The chart illustrates the proportion of employers of both sexes, aged 60-64, in four different countries over the period between 1997 and 2000.
Overall, there is significant disparity between male and female employers, and there were more employers in 1997 than in 2000. The number of male employers is higher than the number of female employers. Also, the most employers worked in Japan; by contrast, the lowest total of employers was recorded in Belgium.
On the one hand, the percentage of male employers aged 60-64 was recorded in the range of 73-85 in 1997. In comparison, the percentage of female employers aged 60-64 was recorded in the range of 8-43 in the same year. The highest number of employments was in Japan, perhaps due to their healthcare system, and people are still working within this age category. The smallest portion of the chart is recorded by Belgium, because their government paid attention to older people who are retired.
On the other hand, the number of older people slightly decreased in the sphere of employment over time. The most significant decline was recorded by Belgium, from 19-79 to 8-7, possibly because their economic system improved. Neither the largest nor the smallest portion of the diagram was recorded by the USA and Australia.
