The table demonstrates data on the percentage of women in the workforce and those holding managerial positions across five different countries: Australia, Egypt, Sri Lanka, Japan and the United States.
Australia and the United States have a higher proportion of women in managerial position, accounting for 43% of all managers. Additionally, women there represent 42% and 46% of local workforce respectively. Though we could see a notable number of women workers in Japan and Sri Lanka, making up 48% and 41% of the total separately, it should be noted that fewer women are appointed in the management team, occupying only 17% and 9% of the seats. In addition, Egypt shows a lower percentage in both categories, having merely 20% of working women and 12% of women managers.
In summary, the data suggests that the United States and Australia have made considerable efforts in gender equality, so that women there enjoy a better environment as a worker and as a manager.On the other hand, Japan and Sri Lanka, while presenting a higher level of women’s employment, it is harder to promote to a higher office considering gender issues. Furthermore, Egypt deserves our attention, as a higher barrier stands there for women to go to work and gain a better position.
