Classification
The countries in the tables measure their workforce using the International Standard Classification of Occupations version ISCO-88, and the relevant category counts legislators, senior officials, and managers.
*This information for Japan is relevant to administrative and managerial workers, and is thus, not strictly comparable to the other percentages of women (for legislators, senior officials and managers), although the number is accurate. Japan measures its workforce using the International Standard Classification of Occupations version ISCO-1968, and the relevant category counts administrative and managerial workers.
