The decline in the U.S. men's labor-force participation rate is not due to fewer jobs being available to men because of more women being employed. The decline is attributed to factors such as young men staying in school longer, older men retiring earlier and living longer, and more fathers choosing to stay at home to raise their children. The idea that women's employment reduces job availability for men does not account for the overall growth in job opportunities and shifts in the types of jobs available in the economy.
