Excerpt from the report:

• The labor force participation rate for adult women rose dramatically during the 1970s and 1980s. Since then, growth in participation has slowed substantially.
• The participation rate for adult men has waned over time, though the decline appears to have leveled off in recent years. The long-term decline largely reflects the trend toward earlier retirement.
