{'active women': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'women': [9, 8, 22, 46], 'china': [1, 0, 1, 2], 'russia': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'usa': [12, 5, 29, 27], 'percentage': [1, 2, 2, 3], 'age': [2, 1, 1, 2], 'domestic duties': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'students': [0, 1, 1, 1]}
The correct answer is (d) South Korea.
In 1996, South Korea had the highest percentage of economically active women (excluding students and those doing domestic duties in their homes) as a percentage of all women of working age. South Korea has made significant progress in women`s workforce participation and has implemented various policies and initiatives to encourage women`s employment and career development.
While other countries like the USA, China, and Russia have also seen increases in women`s workforce participation, South Korea had a particularly high rate in 1996. It`s important to note that these statistics may have changed over time as economic and social conditions evolve in different countries.
