The graphs below show the percentage of men and women aged 60-64 who were employed in four countries in 1970 and 2000.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words.

Sample 1:

The bar charts illustrate the percentage of senior demographics from 60-64 who were still members of the labour force, classified by genders, in 1970 and 2000.

Looking at the graph from a general perspective, it is readily apparent that regardless of countries, there were fewer and fewer senior employees over the time with women witnessing a more drastic downturn than men. Also, Belgium recorded the most rapid decline in the percentage of working old people regarding both genders.

In 1970, 79% and 76% of men aged 60-64 were employed in Belgium and Japan in turn, a bit lower than those of the USA (86%) and Indonesia (84%). 30 years later, these figures declined by 8 to 13% in three countries namely the USA, Japan and Indonesia whilst a substantial drop of 27% was seen in the proportion of working males in Belgium.

Meanwhile, there was a wider discrepancy among employed women aged 60-64 in four nations compared to men. In 1970, the USA headed the list with 78% working females. Next came Indonesia (65%), Belgium (63%), and last position was Japan with only 56%. In 2000, there were remarkable falls to around 45 to 50% in the figures for USA, Japan and Indonesia, approximately six times higher than that of Belgium, representing a negligible 8%.

Sample 2:

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.

Sample 3:

The bar chart depicts the employment rates of individuals aged 60 to 64, categorized by gender, in four different countries.

In general, there was a significant decrease in employment rates for both men and women across all four countries over a span of 30 years. Additionally, regardless of the country, the percentage of employed males in the 60-64 age group consistently exceeded that of females in both years.

In 1970, 86% of men aged 60-64 in the USA were employed, which was the highest among the four countries and was a slight margin ahead of Indonesia’s male employment rate by a mere 2%. Similarly, the employment rate for women in the same age group was much higher in the former than in the latter, at 78% and 65% respectively. By 2000, there was a decline of 8% and 10% in employment rates for males in the USA and Indonesia respectively. Mirroring the same trend, albeit much more pronounced, female employment rates fell to 45% and 50% respectively.

Initially, Japan ranked fourth in employment of this age cohort, with 76% for males compared to 56% for females, but both figures went down to 63% and 47%, concluding at the third position. Belgium had 79% of males and 63% of females aged 60-64 employed in 1970, higher than Japan’s; however, thereafter, 52% of males at that age still worked while a minority of senior women in this nation were employed (8%), both of which were lowest among these nations.

Sample 4:

The bar chart depicts the employment rates of individuals aged 60 to 64, categorized by gender, in four different countries.

In general, there was a significant decrease in employment rates for both men and women across all four countries over a span of 30 years. Additionally, regardless of the country, the percentage of employed males in the 60-64 age group consistently exceeded that of females in both years.

In 1970, the male employment rates did not present significant discrepancies, with 86% of men in the United States aged 60-64 being employed, closely followed by 84% in Indonesia, 78% in Belgium and 76% of Japanese males. Female job participation repeated the same pattern. To specify, 78% of American women in this cohort still secured employment, which was highest, while the lowest female employment rate was recorded in Japan (56%). Belgium and Indonesia had relatively similar proportions for 60-64-year-old employed females, at 63% and 65%.

After three decades, employment rates of 60- to 64-year-old people in all nations experienced a decline. While three out of the four countries, namely the USA, Japan, and Indonesia, recorded similar decreases of around 10% for males, to 78%, 63% and 74% respectively, the figures for their female counterparts fell by 33%, 9%, and 15%, respectively. Employees in Belgium aged 60-64 presented the most noticeable change, with proportions decreasing by 27% for males and 55% for females.

Sample 5:

The bar chart provided compares the proportions of male and female employees whose ages ranged from 60 to 64 in four different countries over 30 years.

Overall, more males were employed than females in the given age range. The year 2010 witnessed declines in the number of both men and women employed in all four countries, with Belgian and American females being the worst hit.

In 1970, America was the country that had the highest employment rate of citizens aged 60-64, approximately 86% for males and 78% for females. Following this, Indonesia had nearly the same percentage of employed men at roughly 84% but a much lower proportion of women at 65%. Although Belgium and Japan had similar proportions for males at just over three quarters, fewer Japanese women were able to find employment at the age of over 60.

In 2000, the 60-64-year-olds in all nations suffered from a drop in job opportunities. While three out of four countries namely the USA, Japan, Indonesia recorded similar decreases of around 10% for males, the figures for their counterparts fell by 33%, 9% and 15% respectively. Employees who were 60-64 in Belgium were the worst affected, with the proportions decreasing by 27% for males and 55% for females.

Sample 6:

The given bar charts delineate the employment proportion of senior citizens in four countries namely Belgium, the USA, Japan, and Indonesia in 1970 and 2000

Overall, there was a downward trend in the employment rate in the examined period. In addition, a pronounced gender disparity was displayed as that of men surpassing that of women in each country. 

Looking at the chart in more detail, Belgium experienced a plummet in the percentage of senior women employed, from 63% in 1997 to approximately 8 times smaller, at 8%. In the US, that of women was deducted from 78% and to 45%. 

Meanwhile, a milder decrease occurred in the two Asian countries. Japan had over half of the senior women citizens joining the labour workforce in 1970 then this figure declined to 47%; the percentage of elderly working women in Indonesia, similarly, decreased to a half from 65% in 1970. 

The proportion of males saw a minimal downward trend. The rate of employment for senior men in Japan and Indonesia witnessed a decrease to 63% and 74% respectively, while that of the USA only dropped by 8% to 78% – the most insignificant rate among all. Belgium had the most dramatic decrease as only roughly half of senior men in this country in 2000 were employed.

Sample 7:

The given bar graphs depict the information about the number of old age males and females who got jobs during the year 1970 and 2000 in four different nations are Belgium, USA, Japan and Indonesia. The data is calibrated in percentage.

Looking from an overall perspective, it is readily apparent that more men were engaged in the jobs than women during the given years, and with passing years the number has decreased to some extent.

It can be seen that in 1970, 79 % of men who were above the age of 60 in Belgian got jobs with the difference of ten per cent with the fairer sex of same age. The gradual decline was noticed in the year 2000 when 51 % of men in the same age group got employment while women did not even touch the one-tenth part. In USA and Japan during the year 1970, there were 85 % and 75 % men and 79 %and 55 % women of senior age were working respectively. After three decades, the percentage declined in regard with the women in USA more men in Japan more, whereas much decline was not observed among the men in USA and women in Japan.

Moving ahead, observing the employment trend in Indonesia for senior citizens, over four-fifths of the men had got the jobs while 64 % of women had acquired these opportunities. After thirty years, the percentage decreased by 10-12 % in both the genders in the same age group in the same country.

Sample 8:

The given column graphs compare the percentages of employed males and females in four countries namely – Belgium, the USA, Japan and Indonesia in 1970 and 2000. It is manifest from the graph that in both the given years more males were employed than females.

In 1970, the USA had the highest employment rate with 86% males and 78% females doing jobs. Indonesia came in second with 84 and 65% employed men and women respectively. 79% Belgian males and 64% females were working in 1970. The lowest employment rate was in Japan, where 76% males and only 56% females were employed.

In 2000, the percentage of men and women employed was far lesser than that in 1970 in all the four given countries. In USA, the percentage of employed males and females fell by 8% and 33% respectively from the figures of 1970. Indonesia also witnessed a decrease in employment among men and women by 10 and 15% respectively. In Japan the percentage of employed men and women dropped by 13% and 9% respectively. 27% lesser Belgian men were employed in 2000. The biggest brunt of recession was faced by the Belgian women, with the figures falling from 63% in 1970 to 8% in 2000.

Overall, the year 2000 witnessed a period of recession in all the four given countries, but the Belgian and the American women were the worst hit.

Sample 9:

The bar graphs compare the percentage of men and women aged 60-64 who were employed in four countries - Belgium, the USA, Japan, and Indonesia - in the years 1970 and 2000.

Overall, the employment rates for men in this age group decreased in all four countries over the 30-year period. Women also experienced a significant decline in employment in Belgium and the USA, while the rates in Japan and Indonesia were relatively stable.

In 1970, a significant proportion of men aged 60-64 were employed in all four countries, with the highest employment rate observed in the USA at 86%, followed by Indonesia at 84%. In Japan and Belgium, the rates were slightly lower, at 76% and 79%, respectively. However, by 2000, the percentage of employed men had dropped significantly in Belgium and Japan, to 52% and 63%, respectively. In contrast, the decline was less pronounced in the USA and Indonesia, where the figures fell to 78% and 74%.

The employment rates for women were considerably lower than those for men in both years. In 1970, the USA had the highest proportion of employed women at 78%, but by 2000, this number had dropped to 45%. Belgium saw the most dramatic decrease, from 63% in 1970 to just 8% in 2000. In contrast, the employment rates for women in Japan and Indonesia showed relatively little change, with Japan’s rate decreasing from 56% in 1970 to 47% in 2000, while Indonesia saw a more modest drop from 65% to 50%.

Sample 10:

The bar charts compare the employment rate of four countries' men and women aged 60-64 in 1970 and 2000. Overall, while the levels in all nations had declined by 2000, the employment of American men was highest in both years. In addition, the percentage of working elderly women in the US ranked first in 1970, but in 2010, this figure for Indonesia was the largest.

In 1970, all countries recorded more than 75% of employed men between 60 and 64 years old. The US stood on top with 86%, while Indonesia, Belgium and Japan showed slightly lower figures of 84%, 79% and 76%, respectively. America also displayed the highest employment level for elderly women, with 78%, whereas that for Japan was the lowest, with 56%. The gap between men and women's data was least significant in the

US.

By 2000, employment in this age group had decreased across the board. Despite this decline, the US continued to show the largest percentage of working men, with 78%. This was followed by 74% in Indonesia and 63% in Japan, whereas Belgium reported the lowest level, with 52%, two-thirds that of America. Regarding women, the 50% employment rate in Indonesia outstripped any other data of this type. Meanwhile, with 8%, the figure for Belgian women stood at the bottom, and it also amounted to under one-sixth of that for elderly men in this country.

Sample 11:

The graphs illustrate the employment rates among men and women aged 60 to 64 in four countries - Belgium, the USA, Japan, and Indonesia in the years 1970 and 2000.

Overall, it is evident that the proportion of seniors in the workforce declined over the 30-year period in all countries, with a more pronounced drop among women. Notably, Belgium experienced the most significant decrease in employment levels for both genders.

In 1970, the USA showcased the highest male employment level in this age group at 86%, slightly ahead of Indonesia at 84%. In Belgium, 79% of men aged 60 to 64 were employed, while Japan recorded a similar rate of 76%. By 2000, the proportions of male employees aged from 60 to 64 dropped across the board, with the USA and Indonesia falling to 78% and 74%, respectively. Meanwhile, the figure for Belgium decreased to 52%, and Japan saw a slight decline to 63%.

As for women, the USA led in 1970 with 78% of women in this age group, followed by Indonesia (65%), Belgium (63%), and Japan, which exhibited the lowest rate at 56%. By 2000, female employment rates underwent notable declines, particularly in Belgium, where the rate plummeted to just 8%. In contrast, the USA, Japan, and Indonesia recorded figures ranging between 45% and 50%.

Sample 12:

Given are two graphs comparing the employment rate between males and females, in four different nations between 1970 and 2000. Overall, the proportion of employed men was more prevalent than that of women in all four countries for both periods. Additionally, the rate of employment for both genders in all countries decreased.

Concerning males, in 1970, the rate of working American men was the highest, at 86%. Despite a significant drop by 2000, this figure still remained the highest, at 78%. While the male employment percentage of Indonesia decreased from 84% to 74% during the recorded period, that of Belgium fell more rapidly from 79% to 52%. Meanwhile, a considerable fall was also seen in the rate of Japan, from 76% to 63%.

Regarding females, starting at the highest result of 78%, the figure for America fell enormously to 45%. Although the rate of employed Indonesian women fell from 65% in 1970 to 50% in 2000, this surpassed America in the final year. There were 56% of Japanese women and 63% of Belgian ones working in 1970, after which the former dropped to 47% and the latter saw the most significant fall, plummeting to 8% in the final year.

Sample 13:

The bar chart illustrates 4 different countries in terms of the porportion of employed males and females at the age group from 60-64 over the period of 30 years, starting from 1970. Generally, it is evident that the percentages of both genders who were still working at the age of 60-64 of all countries dramatically declined throughout the given period, with Belgium witnessing a more significant rate of decrease. Additionally, the figures for males of all countries were noticeably higher than those for females over the two given years.

In 1970, it is evident that the proportions of employed men aged 60-64 outnumbered those of women, ranging from 8% to 16%. Of all countries, the USA topped the list for both genders, with 86% for men and 78% for women. Following this, Idonesia and Belgium respectively took the second and third position, accounting for 84% and 79% for men, and 65% and 63% for women. However, the proportions of both employed genders at this age group were the lowest, representing 76% of men and 56% of women.

By 2000, both genders experienced a downward trend, especially in women, making the gap between men and women wider. Looking more closely, the figures for the USA and Indonesia had slightly fell down by 8% and 10%, respectively, but they still maintained their positions as the first and the second. However, with a more dramatic fall of 27%, the figure for Belgium was overtaken by that of Japan, accounting for 63%. As for females, there was a plummet in the figures for the USA and Belgium, hitting the lowest points of 45% and 8%, respectively.
