The International Labor Organization has published its 2025 list of countries where the most women work. The survey measures the percentage of working-age women (15–64) who are either employed or actively looking for work. Among the key takeaways is the fact that women are more likely to work in very poor or very rich countries, but less so in middle-income ones.
For example, Madagascar (low income) and Iceland (high income) both have the same rate of women workforce participation.
A total of 184 countries were included in the study, but we've narrowed that figure down to the top 30 countries where women work the most. Is your nation listed?
