The employment rate for women with tertiary education in 2023 varied significantly across countries, with Portugal leading at 91.47% and Colombia at the lowest with 70.19%. Most European countries demonstrated robust employment rates above 80%, with notable increases in Portugal, Slovenia, and Slovakia. However, Latvia, Argentina, and Greece faced declines, indicating potential socioeconomic challenges. The United States and Russia remained below 80%, showcasing a modest 5-year compounded growth. South Korea exceeded expectations with a 1.2% increase.
Looking forward, we anticipate further increases in employment rates in Europe, driven by gender equality policies. Growth predictions in developing economies are mixed due to political and economic instability. Observing labor force participation policies and economic growth will clarify future trends.
