The bar charts show the employment rates of males and

females living in Canada, South Korea and Sweden in the years


2005 and 2015.
Overall, over the observed period, there was an increase in
the employment rates of both females and males in all three
countries, with the exception of the Sweden’s male workforce.
The increase in the female workforce was also more
prominent compared to men.
Regarding the male workforce, while Canada and South
Korean experienced a rise in employment rate to 70% and
about 78% respectively, fewer men in Sweden were able to
find employment, making its rate dropped from roughly 80%
to the same rate as Canada’s (70%) in 2015. This drop allowed
South Korea to surpass Sweden as the country with the
highest percentage of employed men in the later year.
In terms of female employment rate, there was a raise in all
three countries. Canada had the highest jump, from about
38% to approximately 55% in 2015. Meanwhile, both Sweden
and South Korea’s female population had a small increase of
about 5% in employment rate, reaching about 45% and 35%
