Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since in Country B, more high school graduates are entering the labor force without obtaining higher education, it is likely that their labor force participation rate will increase. On the other hand, in Country A, more people with higher education are entering the labor force, which may lead to their labor force participation rate decreasing or remaining the same. Therefore, the difference between the two countries' labor force participation rates is likely to increase.
