More and more women are now joining the paid labour force worldwide. They represent the majority of the workforce in many sectors.

In Southeast Asia, women represent up to 80 percent of the workforce in the labour-intensive textile, toy, shoe and electronic sectors. In Latin America and the Caribbean, women make up 70 per cent of the workforce in service industries.

There are many famous women in the areas which used to be reserved for men and some women have even become prime ministers.
