title: [Participation rates for those aged 25 to 60: age and generation effects].
abstract: Labor force participation for those aged 25 to 60 in France is analyzed over the period 1975 to 1994. "Over these two decades, female participation rates rose sharply, particularly among the young and intermediate age groups and the least qualified. At the same time, the overall male participation rate dropped slightly due mainly to more frequent retirement at the end of working life and among the least qualified. An econometric analysis of female participation rates shows, in contrast to the men, an extensive change in working patterns between generations. The sharp rise in participation rates for the generations born from the 1930s to the 1960s has only been slightly tempered by the relative economic downturn posted after 1977."
