The past decades there has been a dramatic increase of women participating in the labor force from countries all over the World including Canada.
In 1950, one Canadian worker in five was a woman. By 1980 this percentage had doubled, and women are expected to make up more than 44.
percent of the labor force by the end of this century. The increase in female participation started occurring during the 1970's. This increase also.
caused the largest baby boom that the Canadian female labor force had ever witnessed. In North America it is common for women to have.
part-time or summer jobs, and the participation rate of teenage girls is high. It is also mostly high throughout the world in places as United.
Kingdom because of the fewer women going to school. But in places like France, Italy, and Japan the female participation rate is very low. In most.
of the countries the labour force is most participated in the age groups between 20 and 24. The labor force of mature women is very high in.
Sweden, because of the encouraged day care facilities, which also provides the females with legislation that provides them with excellent benefits.
In Japan there is a drop in female economic activity, the reason why is it affects their marriage and the care of their only child. An observation of.
labor force participation rates in Canada show that female rates rose a lot between 1971 and 1981, while the male rate rose unnoticeably. The.
increase in the female participation rate was found in all age groups except in older women. For women aged 15 to 19 the rate was as almost as.
high as the men. But the largest increase was in the age group of 25-44 years old, where the rate rose almost 50 percent. This meant that the.
participation rates of the females had become more alike with the men. Family status also influenced the female participation rate but later on.
