The past five decades have seen a remarkable convergence in the economic roles of men and women in society. Yet, persistently large gender gaps in terms of labor supply, earnings, and representation in top jobs remain. Moreover, in countries like the U.S., convergence in labor market outcomes appears to have slowed in recent decades. In this article, we focus on the role of children and show that many potential explanations for the remaining gender disparities in labor market outcomes are related to the fact that children impose significantly larger penalties on the career trajectories of women relative to men. In the U.S., we document that more than two-thirds of the overall gender earnings gap can be accounted for by the differential impacts of children on women and men. We propose a simple model of household decision-making to motivate the link between children and gender gaps in the labor market, and to help rationalize how various factors potentially interact with parenthood to produce differential outcomes by gender. We discuss several forces that might make the road to gender equity even more challenging for modern cohorts of parents, and offer a critical discussion of public policies that seek to address the remaining gaps.

In 2024, the employment rate in China decreased to around 62.4 percent, from 62.8 percent in the previous year. China is the world’s most populous country and its rapid economic development over the past decades has profited greatly from its large labor market. While the overall working conditions for the Chinese people are improving, the actual size of the working-age population in China has been shrinking steadily in recent years. This is mainly due to a low birth rate in the country. Economic slowdown – impact on labor market After decades of rapid development, the world’s second largest economy now seems to have difficulties to boost its economy further. The GDP growth rate indicated a declining trend over the last decade and the number of employed people decreased for the first time since decades in 2015. Under the influence of the global economic downturn, the coronavirus pandemic, and the US-China tensions, many Chinese enterprises are having tough times, which leads to a recession in China’s labor market. Chances for better employment situation The long-lasting Sino-U.S. trade war has caused China great loss on its international trade sector, which has been driving China’s economic growth for decades. However, there is also a lot China could improve. First, the potential of domestic demands could be further developed and satisfied with high-quality products. Second, it’s a good timing to eliminate backward industries with low value added, and the high-tech and environment-friendly industries should be further promoted. In addition, China’s market could be more open to services, especially in the financial sector and IT services, to attract more foreign investors. Highly skilled talents should be better valued in the labor market. Efficient vocational education and further education could also help change the structure of China’s labor market.

The statistic shows the distribution of the workforce across economic sectors in China from 2014 to 2024. In 2024, around 22.2 percent of the workforce were employed in the agricultural sector, 29 percent in the industrial sector and 48.8 percent in the service sector. In 2022, the share of agriculture had increased for the first time in more than two decades, which highlights the difficult situation of the labor market due to the pandemic and economic downturn at the end of the year. Distribution of the workforce in China In 2012, China became the largest exporting country worldwide with an export value of about two trillion U.S. dollars. China’s economic system is largely based on growth and export, with the manufacturing sector being a crucial contributor to the country’s export competitiveness. Economic development was accompanied by a steady rise of labor costs, as well as a significant slowdown in labor force growth. These changes present a serious threat to the era of China as the world’s factory. The share of workforce in agriculture also steadily decreased in China until 2021, while the agricultural gross production value displayed continuous growth, amounting to approximately 7.8 trillion yuan in 2021. Development of the service sector Since 2011, the largest share of China’s labor force has been employed in the service sector. However, compared with developed countries, such as Japan or the United States, where 73 and 79 percent of the work force were active in services in 2023 respectively, the proportion of people working in the tertiary sector in China has been relatively low. The Chinese government aims to continue economic reform by moving from an emphasis on investment to consumption, among other measures. This might lead to a stronger service economy. Meanwhile, the size of the urban middle class in China is growing steadily. A growing number of affluent middle class consumers could promote consumption and help China move towards a balanced economy.

With the collapse of the U.S. housing market and the subsequent financial crisis on Wall Street in 2007 and 2008, economies across the globe began to enter into deep recessions. What had started out as a crisis centered on the United States quickly became global in nature, as it became apparent that not only had the economies of other advanced countries (grouped together as the G7) become intimately tied to the U.S. financial system, but that many of them had experienced housing and asset price bubbles similar to that in the U.S.. The United Kingdom had experienced a huge inflation of housing prices since the 1990s, while Eurozone members (such as Germany, France and Italy) had financial sectors which had become involved in reckless lending to economies on the periphery of the EU, such as Greece, Ireland and Portugal. Other countries, such as Japan, were hit heavily due their export-led growth models which suffered from the decline in international trade. Unemployment during the Great Recession As business and consumer confidence crashed, credit markets froze, and international trade contracted, the unemployment rate in the most advanced economies shot up. While four to five percent is generally considered to be a healthy unemployment rate, nearing full employment in the economy (when any remaining unemployment is not related to a lack of consumer demand), many of these countries experienced rates at least double that, with unemployment in the United States peaking at almost 10 percent in 2010. In large countries, unemployment rates of this level meant millions or tens of millions of people being out of work, which led to political pressures to stimulate economies and create jobs. By 2012, many of these countries were seeing declining unemployment rates, however, in France and Italy rates of joblessness continued to increase as the Euro crisis took hold. These countries suffered from having a monetary policy which was too tight for their economies (due to the ECB controlling interest rates) and fiscal policy which was constrained by EU debt rules. Left with the option of deregulating their labor markets and pursuing austerity policies, their unemployment rates remained over 10 percent well into the 2010s. Differences in labor markets The differences in unemployment rates at the peak of the crisis (2009-2010) reflect not only the differences in how economies were affected by the downturn, but also the differing labor market institutions and programs in the various countries. Countries with more 'liberalized' labor markets, such as the United States and United Kingdom experienced sharp jumps in their unemployment rate due to the ease at which employers can lay off workers in these countries. When the crisis subsided in these countries, however, their unemployment rates quickly began to drop below those of the other countries, due to their more dynamic labor markets which make it easier to hire workers when the economy is doing well. On the other hand, countries with more 'coordinated' labor market institutions, such as Germany and Japan, experiences lower rates of unemployment during the crisis, as programs such as short-time work, job sharing, and wage restraint agreements were used to keep workers in their jobs. While these countries are less likely to experience spikes in unemployment during crises, the highly regulated nature of their labor markets mean that they are slower to add jobs during periods of economic prosperity.

The Office Staffing and Temp Agencies industry has thrived by offering agile staffing solutions to corporate clients, despite a volatile economic environment. In the aftermath of labor market disruptions brought on by the pandemic, the economy bounced back quickly. Amid a tight labor market, businesses turned to temp agencies to help fill recruitment gaps, producing consecutive years of record growth. However, as inflationary concerns picked up and the Federal Reserve raised interest rates to slow private investment, trickling down to year-to-year declines for staffing agencies. Despite turbulence, industry revenue is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.9% over the past five years, totaling $260.1 billion in 2025. In 2025, industry revenue is forecast to rise 8.9%, with interest rates expected to temper further.The economy is grappling with a significant skills gap, especially in manufacturing, construction, IT and healthcare, with over half of workers lacking the necessary training for these crucial industries. This gap has created a disparity between employer demands and the skills available in the workforce. In a tight labor market, staffing agencies remain vital, providing businesses with a readily available pool of workers. Agencies are prioritizing workforce development by partnering with training providers and educational institutions to offer upskilling and reskilling programs, preparing workers for high-demand roles. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is poised to transform recruitment by automating repetitive tasks, enabling agencies to deliver faster, more precise placements. As AI-driven tools become integral to the job market, agencies that stay ahead of the technology curve will be able to generate premium margins as overall profitability rises across the industry.In the coming years, staffing agencies will see growth as the economy expands, with workers rejoining the labor force turning to temp agencies to find temporary roles in hopes of securing a permanent position. Agencies will remain a permanent fixture in corporate strategies in the fast-growing healthcare sector, where temporary and travel nurses, medical coders and administrative support will be needed to meet the needs of an aging population. Consequently, industry revenue is expected to increase at a CAGR of 2.2% to reach $290.4 billion over the five years to 2030.

The US commercial real estate (CRE) market, valued at $1.66 trillion in 2025, is projected to experience steady growth, driven by several key factors. Strong economic fundamentals, including a robust job market and increasing demand for office, retail, and industrial space in major metropolitan areas like New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago, contribute to this positive outlook. The ongoing expansion of e-commerce fuels the demand for logistics and warehousing facilities, while the multi-family sector benefits from population growth and urbanization trends. However, rising interest rates and potential economic slowdown pose challenges, potentially impacting investment activity and rental growth. The diverse range of property types within the CRE market creates opportunities and risks. Office space faces ongoing adaptation to hybrid work models, requiring landlords to enhance amenities and improve workplace flexibility. Retail spaces are undergoing transformation, with a focus on experiential retail and omni-channel strategies to compete with online retailers. The industrial and logistics sector remains strong, driven by continued e-commerce growth and supply chain optimization efforts. Competition among CRE companies like Zillow, Keller Williams, and CBRE remains fierce, emphasizing the need for innovation in property management and technological advancements in market analysis and transaction processes. While several cities experience robust growth, others might face localized challenges that influence individual market dynamics. The overall trajectory suggests a moderate expansion, albeit with variations across sectors and geographic locations. Careful consideration of these factors is crucial for successful investment and strategic decision-making within the US CRE industry. The forecast period of 2025-2033 suggests a continuation of these trends. While the 2.61% CAGR indicates a moderate growth rate, significant variations are expected across specific segments. The industrial and logistics sectors are likely to outperform others due to sustained demand, while office space may exhibit slower growth reflecting the ongoing adjustments to hybrid work. Regional variations will also be significant, with major metropolitan areas and technology hubs likely leading the growth trajectory.

Job training and career counseling providers are critical in workforce development, particularly for underserved and economically disadvantaged populations. Ongoing structural challenges in the labor market, including long-term unemployment, skills mismatches and barriers to employment for youth, veterans and individuals with limited education, support the need for providers regardless of economic conditions. In recent years, shifting industry requirements, infusions of federal funding and increasing interest in affordable alternatives to four-year degrees have supported underlying demand. Unprecedented swings in labor market dynamics, ranging from COVID-19 to rising interest in vocational skills, have highlighted the importance of job training and career counseling providers and expanded their revenue opportunities. Collectively, these trends have supported the industry’s expansion, with revenue rising at a CAGR of 1.1% to an estimated $17.1 billion over the past five years. Shifting federal priorities in 2025 could reverse the industry’s momentum. Between 2022 and 2024, increases in federal funding by the Biden Administration lifted revenue growth as more people were able to access programs, while providers were able to make investments in expanding enrollment and investing in technologies. In 2025, potential cuts in federal spending could impact the industry’s viability, as both public and private providers depend on this funding. For example, in May 2025, the Trump administration cut the Job Corps program, the largest federally funded initiative providing vocational training and education to low-income youth, citing concerns over cost, program effectiveness and facility safety. While legal challenges have temporarily paused the closure, the event underscores how sudden changes in federal priorities can impact social service-based employment programs. Moving forward, the industry faces opportunities and risks. While ongoing labor market disruptions, demographic shifts and the need for lifelong learning are expected to sustain interest in job training and career counseling services, headwinds are mounting. Potential reductions in federal funding, uncertainty around program continuity and the challenge of aligning training with local labor market needs present significant obstacles. Shifts in federal priorities pose the largest threat, with the industry’s ability to adapt to these forces shaping its performance over the next five years. These operating pressures will slow the industry’s growth, leading revenue to rise at a CAGR of 0.2% to an estimated $17.3 billion.

Business insurance companies have faced a rollercoaster of changes in recent years, with employment levels in the US serving as a primary catalyst for its performance. With unemployment rates affecting both business activity and demand for insurance, notably workers' compensation policies, shifts in employment have had direct repercussions on the industry. COVID-19 initially brought about substantial challenges, as soaring unemployment and reduced business activity significantly hindered demand for the industry’s services. Yet, with government programs like the Paycheck Protection Program providing a lifeline, the industry managed to navigate through the tumultuous period without significant decline. The narrative shifted as pandemic-related restrictions eased and the economy rebounded. The unemployment rate dramatically fell from a peak of nearly 15% in 2020 to a mere 3.5% by the end of 2023, rejuvenating demand for business insurance. As employment surged and businesses expanded their operations, there was an accompanying rise in demand for diverse insurance products. Providers responded by customizing offerings tailored to the specific needs of various industries, further driving growth. More recently, higher interest rates have reduced consumer demand and caused the job market to slow. Since employment growth declined, revenue only expanded by 1.5% in 2024. Overall, revenue for business insurance companies is anticipated to swell at a CAGR of 2.8% over the past five years, reaching $278.4 billion in 2024. Looking ahead, business insurance companies are poised to capitalize on stable economic conditions over the next five years, with US GDP expected to grow at a steady pace. Though employment growth is anticipated to be slower, driven by a saturated job market and limited population increases, providers will likely benefit from strong corporate profit and consumer confidence, fostering new business creation and insurance investment. However, potential changes in trade policies under a new administration and the looming impacts of climate change present potential challenges. Rising premiums in disaster-prone areas may influence regional market dynamics, potentially prompting shifts in business and population distribution across the US. Despite these challenges, technological advancements, particularly in AI and automation, will offer new avenues for operational efficiency and customer engagement, cementing long-term growth prospects for larger players and niche-focused smaller firms. Overall, revenue for business insurance providers is forecast to inch upward at a CAGR of 1.6% over the next five years, reaching $300.8 billion in 2029.
