  1. Latin American countries, panel of education and age groups, 1987–2014. Adults aged 25–54
  2. Fixed effects (by country and by group) OLS regressions. Unbalanced panel of 9 groups in 18 countries. Dependent variable: labor force participation ratio (men/women) expressed in percentage. See notes to Table 4 for more details. Robust standard errors clustered by country in parentheses. ***Significant at 1% level, **5%, *10%
