Abstract: We conduct an accounting exercise of the changes in aggregate employment, unemployment and out of labor force (OLF) among 25-64 year old men from 1968 to 2010. We decompose the observed changes in these labor market outcomes into changes in the socio-demographic composition of the population and changes in the labor market outcomes of dierent socio-demographic groups. Using the results of the decomposition, we predict that the OLF-to-population ratio for men will increase to 16% in 2015, up from 14.7% in 2010.
