In discussing the presentation on the “Changes in Labor Force Participation in China” by Suqin Ge and Junsen Zhang, the presenter acknowledges the decline in female labor force participation rate in the PRC. He further suggests that this regression would indicate several possible drivers. He also hinted that by comparing the PRC’s female labor force participation with that of other Asian countries, an underlying narrative may possibly emerge.
