                      Women in the Labor Force (A)
     I am no women＇s lib or social worker so I know little about women. But looking at the above diagram, I find a big gap in women＇s involvement in labor force in various countries.
     First I find in most of these cotmtries, namely, UK, US, Canada, Australia, and Sweden, the percentage of women in the work force was small in 1960: about 34% in UK and USA vs about 27% in Canada and Australia. Sweden had more women in its work force.
     Then, in 1970, for example, more women joined in. This was common with all the listed countries except one, USSR.
     It is surprising to note that far more women in USSR were in its labor force than other countries in 1977 or any time. But the percentage of USSR women＇s involvement in work force diminished gradually. It was 51% in 1960. It dropped by 2% ten years later. Seven years later it declined to 45%.
     I think the situation is the best with women in Sweden, for they have enjoyed a stably high percentage of working.

     Women＇s movement in the 1970s brought about a great change in people＇s ideas of women and women＇s status in each community. Before that, for example, in 1960, the number of women working and earning bread for their family was small. In the UK, for example, 34.4% of women were in the labor force. In USA, 33%. In Sweden, 36%, and in USSR, the percentage was 51%. Other states like Canada and Australia had a lower percentage. The above diagram did not cover other countries presumably because the situation
     The diagram shows that in 1970, more women joined the labor force. 36% in UK vs 37% in USA. It is interesting to note, however, that in USSR the percentage grew smaller, while more women joined the labor force.
     Then in 1977, UK＇s women workers grew in number, by 2%. USA had 40.5% of women in the labor force. And while the percentage grew up in many other states, fewer women worked in USSR. It had 45%.
     Most people agree that women cannot enjoy equal rights to men unless they can work to support themselves.
