Technical notes
 

The indicator represents the number of women administrators and managers as a percentage of all workers in this occupational group, and covers the latest year between 1995 and 2003 for which data are available.

The proportion of women among administrative and managerial workers is derived from statistics collected through labour force surveys, unless otherwise indicated. According to the International Standard Classification of Occupations, revised edition (ISCO-68), the major group "administrative and managerial workers" includes (a) legislative officials and government administrators and (b) managers. In many countries, the revised ISCO (ISCO-88) is already in use; in those cases, the category "administrative and managerial workers" includes the following sub-groups: (a) legislators and senior officials; (b) corporate managers; and (c) general managers.
