The line graph provided illustrates the proportion of women as members of parliament in Germany, Italy, France, the UK and Belgium during the period from 2000 to 2012.

Overall, the percentage of female members working in parliament in these five countries rose over this period, while by 2012 Italy had a highest proportion of women members of parliament.

The figures for Germany, Italy and France show similar trend. In Germany, the percentage rose steadily from 33% in 2000 to 37% in 2012. In France, there was also a steady increase from 25% in 2000 to 32% by the end of this period. The rise was more significant in Italy, from 27% in 2000 to 34% in 2008 before reaching almost 40% in 2012.

In 2000, the proportion of female members of parliament was just 3% in the UK. However, there was a dramatic jump to 20% in 2008 and then to 23% four years later. In contrast, the figure for Belgium was 17% of women members in 2000. This percentage saw a steady rise to reach a peak of almost 25% in 2008, before falling to 23%, the same number as the UK, in 2012.
