| Technical notes |
| The indicator refers to the number of women legislators and
managers as a percentage of all workers in this occupational group. It
provides an indication of the presence of women in decision-making positions. |
| The indicator is derived from statistics on the distribution of
the employed population (in some cases of the economically active population)
by occupation, collected mainly through labour force surveys. Where labour
force surveys are not available, other household surveys and population
censuses can also provide the requisite information. |
| The category "legislators and managers" refers to
major group 1 of the 1988 revision of the International Standard
Classification of Occupations (ISCO-88) and includes the following
sub-groups: (a) legislators and senior officials; (b) corporate managers; and
(c) general managers. |
| For those countries reporting employment statistics according to
the earlier International Standard Classification of Occupations 1968 edition
(ISCO-68), the category "administrative and managerial workers"
includes the following sub-groups: (a) legislative officials and government
administrators and (b) managers. |
