This game compares the share of women aged 15 and older who are in the labor force, meaning they are working or actively looking for work.

• This is labor force participation, not employment rate. It counts women who are unemployed but still in the labor force because they are actively seeking work.
• The source uses modeled ILO estimates through the World Bank, which smooth together reported data and comparable estimation methods across countries.
• A higher number does not automatically mean a country is more equal or more prosperous. Participation can be shaped by necessity, informality, care burdens, schooling, and whether paid work is even visible in the official data.
• In each round, pick the country with the higher female labor force participation rate, or SAME when the rounded percentages match.

This is one of those figures where both extremes can mislead. Very low participation can reflect exclusion, but very high participation can also reflect hard economic necessity rather than empowerment.
