I also think, but have no data to substantiate this, that a lot more women are active in volunteer work than men, and I believe that free, volunteer work does not fall in the "labour market" category, no?

Here is a table on volunteers (percent of participation in non-profit organizations). Women do seem to participate more actively then men but fewer are in positions of responsibility.
The rows are:
Just a member
Participates actively (occasionally or regularly)
Has a position of responsibility.

this is only the repartition
amongst people active in associations
between those that are members, active, or have responsibility. It says nothing about women being more present in associations than men; it only shows that among those present, a smaller portion of women than of men are in positions of responsibility. If there are lots more women than men in associations, that would mean that there are more momen in positions of responsibility than me, because the relative proportions are not so different.

Hey good point! I plugged this in quick (it was next to the other tables i was more interested in) & didn't interpret it correctly. The actual volunteering rate by gender data must be available somewhere but I don't have time to look it up right now.

Another place where 100% bars with three segments would be less misleading...
guaranteed to evoke a violent reaction from police is to challenge their right to "define the situation."
