“…Alternatively, Krueger (2017) notes that roughly half of "prime age men who are not in the labor force take pain medication on any given day" and that opioid prescriptions are linked to lower participation. For other drivers of these dynamics, see Aaronson et al (2012), Van Zandweghe ( 2012), Hotchkiss and Rios-Avila (2013), Bullard (2014), Aaronson et al (2014), Perez-Arce et al (2018), andSeshadri (2018).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the most abrupt changes in U.S. labor force participation and unemployment since the Second World War, with different consequences for men and women. This paper models the U.S. labor market to help to interpret the pandemic’s effects. After replicating and extending Emerson’s (2011) model of the labor market, we formulate a joint model of male and female unemployment and labor force participation rates for 1980–2019 and use it to forecast into the pandemic to understand the pandemic’s labor market consequences. Gender-specific differences were particularly large at the pandemic’s outset; lower labor force participation persists.

“…In order to assess how the workforce changed in the 28 EU countries over the period 2003-2017, the decomposition method was used for analysis. The decomposition method to assess the effects of population and participation changes or other demographic changes on labour force was used by Carone (2005), Hotchkiss (2009), Dolls et al (2014), Fuchs (2014), Fields et al 2017, and Seshadri (2018).…”

Purpose – ageing population causes a number of economic and social problems related to changes in the labour market. This study aims to evaluate the effect of the ageing population on the labour force which is the main indicator of the labour market in EU member states. Research methodology – in order to achieve the aim of the study we applied the following methods: i) trend analysis to estimate and present population and changes of labour force over period, and ii) decomposition method to examine the effects of population and labour force structure in terms of age changes on size of labour force. Findings – over the 2003–2017 period volume of the labour force has declined in Romania, Lithuania, Portugal, Latvia and Greece. This negative effect is influenced by both depopulation and structural changes in the workforce, including population ageing. Size of the labour force has increased in 23 countries, but in 11 of them, these positive changes were influenced by the rising of population activity, while depopulation it influenced negatively. Research limitations – research results support the theoretical approach that ageing population may negatively affect the labour market but do not provide ways to solve this problem and this is the implication for further research. Practical implications – the obtained results are useful for policymakers of the labour market (including pension reforms). Originality/Value – the study contributes to scientific literature by sufficient understanding of ageing population problems that occur in labour market and fills the gap in research of ageing population impact on the labour market, using data of EU member states.
