Gender gaps in participation rates will persist. Over the forecast period, both male and female participation rates are expected to decline. Since the decline among women is anticipated to be more pronounced than that among men, the gender gap in participation rates will rise modestly. In 2025, the global participation rates of men will exceed those of women by 25 percentage points (the gap will be noticeably elevated, at 38 percentage points, in lower-middle income countries).
