As shown in Figure $9.3,$ the overall labour-force participation rate of men declined between 1976 and 1997. This overall decline reflects different patterns for different age groups, however, as shown in the following table. $$\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline & \begin{array}{c} \text { All } \\ \text { Men } \end{array} & \begin{array}{c} \text { Men } \\ \mathbf{1 5 - 2 4} \end{array} & \begin{array}{c} \text { Men } \\ \mathbf{2 5 - 5 4} \end{array} & \begin{array}{c} \text { Men 55 } \\ \text { and Over } \end{array} \\ \hline \mathbf{1 9 7 6} & 78 \% & 68 \% & 95 \% & 48 \% \\ \hline \mathbf{1 9 9 7} & 72 & 63 & 91 & 33 \\ \hline \end{array}$$ Which group experienced the largest decline? Given this information, what factor may have played an important role in the decline in overall male labourforce participation over this period?
