More and more women are now joining the paid labour force worldwide. They represent the majority of the workforce in many sectors. Even in countries which have low proportions of women paid workers, such as Arab countries, the number of women who have jobs is rising. 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.
Paid employment has undoubtedly brought economic and social gains to many women. In the past, they were often excluded from many paid jobs and thus economically dependent on their husbands or fathers. Women are now better educated and can promote themselves much more easily than in the past. The access to education and the change in economic status have given women more freedom. There are many famous women in the areas which used to be reserved for men and some women have even become prime ministers.
