Illustrated in the bar chart is the proportion of men and women aged between 60 and 64 who were employed in four countries.
Overall, the employment rate for both males and females in all four listed countries saw a substantial decline after 30 years. Moreover, the proportion of employed males aged 60-64 was invariably higher than that of their counterpart in the two given years, regardless of the country.
In 1970, roughly 83% of Indonesian men aged 60-64 were employed, which was second only to the USA’s 86%. Employed women of the same age bracket in Indonesia and USA represented 50% and 76% respectively. In 2000, while employment rates for males in both mentioned countries declined by roughly 10%, the percentage of employed females in Indonesia rose to surpass that of the USA (50% compared to 45%).
Initially, Japan was the country where the statistical difference between employed males and females was the largest, with 75% for the former compared to 56% for the latter. However, after the next 30 years, the largest gap was to be seen in Belgium where 51% of males were employed – approximately 40% higher than the figure for their counterpart.
