According to the United Nations data, the female labor force participation rate for persons aged 15 and older was 53 percent in 2022. The highest was in the Oceania region (excluding Tuvalu) at approximately 65 percent, while the lowest was in Central and Southern Asia at 40 percent. Among individual countries, the Islamic Republic of Iran had the lowest rate at 14 percent, whereas Nigeria had the highest at 77 percent—an increase of nearly 20 percentage points since 2019[2].



Gender Wage Gap

The gender wage gap which is calculated by the difference between the median earnings of men and women is an indicator followed by OECD[3]. In 2022, the average gender wage gap (as percent of median earnings of men) among OECD countries in 2022 was 11.4. According to the data, in recent years, Luxembourg has had the smallest gender wage gap (0.4 percent), while Korea has had the largest (33.2 percent).[3]

G20 countries, which represent the major economic markets worldwide, reflect this trend as well, though to a lesser extent.
