This graph illustrates the percentage of employed men and women between the age

of 60-64 in four nations in 1970 and 2000

Overall, the percentage of aged workers had dropped significantly after 30 years,
especially in Belgium and the USA, where the percentage of female laborers had
decreased dramatically.

Looking at the 1970 chart, the USA had the highest percentage of male and female
workers, at 86% and 78% respectively. This was then followed by Indonesia with
84% of male laborers and 65% of female laborers, and Belgium with 79% and 63%
of workers. Japan contributed the lowest percentage of workers, with male and
female blue-collars aged 60-64 only registering 76% and 56% respectively.
Moving on to the year 2000, the most significant changes in aged workforces
occurred in Belgium, where the percentage of female employees had reduced to
8%, a fraction of what it used to be in 1970, at 63%. Other countries have also
witnessed similar changes, like the USA’s female workforce, which dropped from
78% in 1970 to 45% in 2000.
