Abstract	"Labor force participation rate (LFPR) is a fundamental indicator of economic vitality and social inclusion. This paper synthesizes recent empirical research on the determinants, trends, and policy implications of labor force participation, drawing on 55 studies published between 1991 and 2026. The review covers demographic, household, cultural, economic, and technological determinants of LFPR, with special attention to regional and gender heterogeneity. Key findings indicate that age, gender, education, marital status, and health are primary drivers of participation, while household composition, cultural norms, and institutional policies mediate these effects. Family-friendly policies such as paid parental leave and affordable childcare have been shown to increase female labor force participation, although their effectiveness is context-dependent. Technological change and the rise of the gig economy are emerging as significant yet under-researched influences, especially in developing regions. This synthesis highlights persistent gender gaps, barriers for married urban women in Southeast Asia, and health-related participation declines among prime-age men in the United States. Future research should address long-term impacts of digitalization, gig work, and health crises on labor force dynamics." The study refers to the period 1991-2026 (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku).
