Answer.1.
There was an increase in participation among women and that was
the driving force behind the rise in the overall participation rate
during the latter half of the 20th century. Although the labor
force participation of women aged 25 to 54 years grew steadily over
this period, the pace of the increase varied. The largest increase
in women’s labor force participation occurred in the 1970s which
were 13.9 percentage points, followed by the 1980s where it was 10
percentage points. During most of the 1990s, the participation rate
for women aged 25 to 54 years continued to rise, peaking at 76.8
percent in 1999 but, in the years soon after, the rate flattened
out. By 2005, the labor force participation rate of women aged 25
to 54 years receded slightly, to 75.3 percent. From 1972 until the
late 1990s, labor force participation increased for all the race
and ethnic groups, but since 1999, the rates have declined. In
earlier generations, full-time homemaking was considered the norm
for mothers, but, apparently, the current generation views labor
force participation as playing an integral role in mothers’
lives.
The reasons for the changes in labor force participation among
women:
a)The presence and the age of children, apparently some highly
educated professional women dropped out labor force to care for
their young children.
Males:
A significant development in the labor force over the past 50 years
has been the steady decline in labor force participation among men
aged 25 to 54 years. After peaking at 97.4 percent in the
mid-1950s, the participation rate for the men has fallen steadily,
reaching a low of 90.5 percent in2005. Dropping by an average of
0.8 percentage point each decade between 1950 and 1990, the labor
force participation rate for men aged 25 to 54 years has declined
much more since the 1990s. For example, between 1990 and 2000 the
rate fell by 1.8 percentage points, and since 2000 it has dropped
by 1.1 percentage points.
Causes for changes in male labor force participation rate:
a)Educational attainment level and the types of jobs available to
the less educated are less desirable.
b)Access to social security benefits.

a) You reason that this is because experience is related to "on the job training." One frequently used measure for (potential) experience is "Age-Education-6." This means subtracting years of education minus 6. Explain the underlying rationale. b) Assuming, heroically, that education is constant across the 1,744 individuals, you consider regressing earnings on age and a binary variable for gender. You estimate two specifications initially: c) Assuming, heroically, that education is constant across the 1,744 individuals, you consider regressing earnings on...
