The table illustrates the percentage of women participating in the workforce and the percentage of female women in management in five countries.
Overall, the gap between the two roles in Australia and the United States is negligible, while a substantial disparity is marked in the remaining three countries, with Sri Lanka recording the largest one. Another key feature is that women’s participation in the labor force of Japan is by far the highest rate, whereas the share of women in leadership roles dominates in Australia and the United States.
Looking first at the percentage of women in the workforce across the five countries, it is evident that Japan boasts the largest female labor force, constituting 48%, 2% higher than the figure for the United States. In Australia and Sri Lanka, slightly over 40% of females engage in the job market, which is twofold that of Egypt.
Turning to women’s management, a significant proportion of 43% female workers is marked in the two countries, namely Australia and the United States, accompanied by their remarkable ratio in their female employees. The pattern appears to be slightly different from the share of Sri Lanka, which comes in last with only 9%, being merely half of Japan’s rate. Besides, a modest figure of 12% of females in managerial positions.
