Youth labor force participation rates worldwide fell in most world regions since 2000. The decline was particularly remarkable in Eastern as well as South Asia. This is explained by the tendency that more people enter secondary education once countries begin to develop. The opposite trends could thus be observed regardingĀ enrollment in secondary education in these two regions.
