Women today are more determined than ever before, and they are greatly benefitting from the flexibility provided to them in the workplace. However, despite all the progress that has been made, women are still not being given equal opportunities. This is the finding of the latest report published by CEOWORLD magazine<\/a>. The unequal playing field between men and women is not only unfair, but it also has a significant economic cost as it impacts productivity and slows down growth.<\/p>\n

The report<\/a> also reveals that the barriers that prevent women from joining the workforce, such as tax distortions, discrimination, and social and cultural factors, are actually more costly than previously thought. On the other hand, the benefits of closing the gender gaps are even greater than we had anticipated. Therefore, policymakers should take urgent action to eliminate these barriers and ensure equal opportunities for all.<\/p>\n

Have you ever wondered which countries have the highest percentage of women in their workforce?<\/strong> CEOWORLD magazine has created a report that ranks 195 countries based on the percentage of their female workforce<\/a>. As per the report, the world average for women in the workforce in 2024 was 50.6%. The United States has a percentage of 56.7% of women in its workforce, which is just 6.1% higher than the world average, and ranks the US at 60th out of 195 countries. Keep reading to find out how other countries fare when it comes to the percentage of their workforce who are women.<\/p>\n

Which country has the highest percentage of women in the workforce?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Burundi has the highest percentage of women in the workforce, with 78.25% of the formal and non-formal workforce being female. On the other hand, Iraq has the lowest percentage of women in the workforce, with only 10.76% of the workforce being female. This leaves men to work most of the country’s jobs. Although the government of Iraq has made some efforts to improve women’s rights, there are still various barriers that hinder women from having equal rights and being able to work. Female labor force participation rate as a share of the female population in the world:<\/p>\n
