Is the declining labor force participation rate amongst men a
bad thing?
In class this week, we learned that 16% of men aged between
25-54 in 2014 were not working. That number is nearly triple the
amount seen in 1968- ~5%- and is significantly larger than prior

14/100 men don't go to work. So what's goin on?
Certainly it's a bad thing that the labor force participation
amongst men...
Topic: Labor Force Participation Question/Prompt: “Because of
the decreasing labor force participation rate of youths and the
prime age group, the overall labor force participation rate is
expected to decline. The participation rates of older workers are
projected to increase, but remain significantly lower than those of
the prime age group. A combination of a slower growth of the
civilian noninstitutional population and falling participation
rates will lower labor force growth to a projected 0.5 percent
annually.” (Labor Force Projections,...
We have seen in class that the labor force participation of
women has increased considerably in the last 50 years in many
countries of the world. Unfortunately, during the same time, in
some countries, gender wage gap has increased. Newspapers in these
countries have reported this increase in the gender wage gap as
evidence that there have been an increase in the number of
discriminating firms or in how discriminating they are. Using the
model of discrimination learned in class,...
