The bar chart illustrates the proportion of men and women who held jobs in four countries namely South Africa, Chile, Finland and Norway in the year 2002.
Overall, it is clear that the rate of men in the workforce was higher than that of women in all four countries. Also noticeable was that the employment figures for both sexes in Finland and Norway were relatively close, whilst there was more of a difference in South Africa and Chile. The gap between the percentages of men and women was the largest in the latter case.
Looking at the graph more closely, one can see that the employment rate of male in Norway was the dominant in four countries, accounting for nearly 80%, just ahead of this figure in Chile and Finland, at roughly 70%. However, the proportion of South Africa men in work was low in comparison with the others since only half of them held jobs.
Having a similar pattern with men, the percentage of Norwegian women in work was highest, at above 70%. Finland was second on the list, with around 60% of women holding jobs. The rate for South Africa was next on the list, at approximately 38% women worked, slightly more than the figure for Chile with roughly 35%.
