The two charts show the percentages of men and women in employment in three countries in the years 2005 and 2015. In general, we can see that the percentages of working people increased, with the proportion of women showing the most significant rise.
In all of the countries covered, and in both years, the number of men in employment was greater than the number of women. South Korea has the highest rate of male employment – approximately 75% in 2005, rising slightly to about 78% in 2015 – and Canada has the lowest – just over 60% in 2005 and 70% in 2015.
The proportion of women in employment was lower than men in all of the countries covered over the two years. It was below 50% everywhere in 2005, but the figures had risen by 2015. In Canada, over half of the women were working, and in Sweden, the figure was exactly 50%. In contrast, the number of South Korean women who were working was only about 35% compared with a percentage which was more than double for men at over 70%.
这两张图显示的是2005年和2015年三个国家的男女就业比例。总的来说,我们可以看到,劳动者的比例有所上升,其中女性的比例上升最为显著。
在所涉及的所有国家中,而且在这两年中,男性就业人数都大于女性。韩国的男性就业率最高--2005年约为75%,2015年略微上升至78%左右,加拿大最低--2005年略高于60%,2015年为70%。
在这两年里,所有覆盖的国家中,女性的就业比例都低于男性。2005年各地都低于50%,但到了2015年,这一数字有所上升。在加拿大,超过一半的妇女在工作,而在瑞典,这个数字正好是50%。相比之下,南韩妇女的工作人数只有35%左右,而男子的这一比例超过70%,是其两倍多。
