Differences between rural and urban - Part I

We now discuss the differences between rural and urban, men and women. If we analyze the labor participation rate (see figures below); young women work more in the urban sector, whereas adult women have higher participation in rural areas. In contrast, men in the rural sector have higher participation rates, except for the age groups between 30 and 59 years old when rates are similar.
