In almost every country in the world, men are more likely to participate in labor markets than women. However, these
gender differences in participation rates have been narrowing substantially in recent decades. […]

• All over the world, labor force participation among women of working age increased substantially in the last century.
• In some parts of the world, the historical increase in female labor force participation has slowed down or even regressed
slightly in recent years.
• Women all over the world allocate a substantial amount of time to activities that are not typically recorded as “economic
activities”. Hence, female participation in labor markets tends to increase when the time-cost of unpaid care work is
reduced, shared equally with men, and/or made more compatible with market work.
