This is an example of a report where we you can have all the data yet still draw the wrong conclusions. There are not two contrasting demographic trends that will be solved by further female labour force participation, rather a single universal one on a maturity curve. The trade off is increase FLFP is economic development in the short term, but increase dependency ratio in the long term as population replacement rate declines. In the Western world, this has been plugged by immigration, in East it looks like automation will be the way. Neither of which are free from problems, nor tackle root cause, which is dominance of the economy over society, when it should really be the other way round.
