Overall, while Japan has the highest rate of working women, Australia and the United States lead in the proportion of women in management positions. In addition, Sri Lanka and Japan maintain the largest gap between women's labor force participation and their representation in management roles.

Regarding the three developed countries, women in the United States account for 46% of the workforce, which is 3% higher than the figure for those in managerial positions, at 43%. Female Australians constitute similar proportions in both categories, standing at around 43%. In contrast, 48% of the workforce in Japan are women, nearly triple the rate of those in managerial roles, at only 17%.

Turning to the remaining nations, although 42% of workers in Sri Lanka are female, they constitute only 9% of management positions in that country, which is the lowest of the five listed. Similarly, a relatively large disparity is also seen in Egypt, as 20% of their labor force is comprised of women, nearly double the percentage of female managers, at only 12%.
