The line graph below gives information about the percentage of women aged 15-64 in employment between 2003 and 2009.

Sample answer 1:

The line graph shows the percentage of women aged 15 to 64 in employment in Iceland, Canada, Germany, Chile, and Turkey from 2003 to 2009.

Overall, more females were employed in the advanced economies of Iceland, Canada, and Germany compared to those in South America Chile and Turkey. Furthermore, during this period, there was a significant increase in the employment of women in Iceland and Turkey. However, Iceland experienced a slight dip in employment percentage.

In 2003, Iceland led the five countries with employment women percentage, at 81%, while Canada was second with 70% followed by Germany with slightly below 60%. Until 2007, the employment rate for Icelandic women remained at around 81%, before dropping to 78% by 2009. The Canadian women employment percentage increased during this period, peaking at 70% by the end. The German women employment percentage increased to 66% by 2009.

The patterns observed in Chile and Turkey diverged rather significantly. In Chile, the employment rate was roughly 35% in 2003 and increased slowly, surpassing 40% by 2009. In Turkey, this number was lower, starting at about 25% in 2003. Although it dipped slightly to around 20% in 2005, it subsequently recovered to end the period at a similar level to where it began, just above 25%.

In summary, female employment was far more prevalent in Iceland, Canada, and Germany throughout the period, while Chile and Turkey consistently lagged behind, despite some minor improvements. The only country to record a clear decline in employment was Iceland, while all other nations either experienced growth or remained relatively stable.

 

Sample answer 2:

The line chart details the percentages for females working in various countries around the world from ages of 15 to 64. Overall, employment rose in all nations except for Iceland, where there was a marginal decline, and Turkey, where the percentage was stable overall. The three more developed nations also generally registered higher employment percentages compared to Chile and Turkey.

In 2003, there were approximately 10% differences in the figures for female employment in Iceland, Canada and Germany at 81%, 69%, and 59%, respectively. Over the next 4 years, these percentages were generally stable before Canadian employment began to diverge upwards to finish at 65% in 2009 and Iceland experienced the inverse trend dropping to end at 78%. Canada was more stable and concluded the period at precisely 70%.

In contrast, Chile and Turkeys' female employment ratios were lower throughout with the former beginning at 35% and plateauing just above 40% for the remainder of the surveyed timeframe. The latter, in comparison, fell from 25% in 2003 to near 20% in the middle years of the period, before a full recovery in the final year.
