Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Occupation of Women on WikiData
To: wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org
This is a tool done by Envel Le Hir using WikiData and published today.
I actually inspired him the idea during a conference, when talking of
my desire to get generic data about women professionnal occupation. My
main argument is that I felt many of the added biographies about women
were about actors, singers, or football players. Much less about
politicians and business. But it was a "guess" and I wanted more hard
data.
And apparently... he got busy

Ok.
Hard data (1950-2005 birth dates):
* 80% of the biographies of porn actors are about women.
* 98.3% of beauty pageant contestants are about women.
* 24% of politicians are about women
* 8.4% of computer scientists are about women.
Or ... In Algeria... the more popular occupation of women by far is...
Volley Ball !
In France... actors.
And in Guinea... well... hard to say... only 17 biographies about
Guinean women anyway.
