I am guessing women have low labor force participation rates in the poor land you moved from ?

  i would guess quite the opposite. from what i have seen in places that i have been to women are doing most of the work, like selling food at the market while i saw more men hanging around doing nothing. i guess some of the men that did work went elsewhere for the better jobs.

    Listing some specific places would be a good way to validate your anecdote with actual data.

      not really. it would still just be the experience of one person in one place. not enough to generalize. someone made a guess, and i countered with a different guess. i am however not ready to go on a deeper exploration here until i have had more opportunities to observe other similar places and spend more time to talk to some of these people to get a better understanding of their situation

        > not really. it would still just be the experience of one person in one place If you provided a location, others could research the labor participation rate among men and women in the area you’re talking about. It would literally be the exact opposite of “the experience of one person”.
