Technical notes:

Table 5.F presents the proportion of women among administrative and managerial workers.

The proportion of women among administrative and managerial workers is derived from statistics published by ILO in the Yearbook of Labour Statistics and supplemented by national sources. 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 a few 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.
The indicator expresses the number of women administrators and managers as a percentage of all workers in this occupational group, and covers the latest year between 1985 to 1997 for which data are available.
