Where Have All the Workers Gone? An Inquiry into the Decline of the U.S. Labor Force Participation Rate
The U.S. labor force participation rate has declined since 2007, primarily because of population aging and ongoing trends that preceded the Great Recession. The labor force participation rate has evolved differently, and for different reasons, across demographic groups. A rise in school enrollment has largely offset declining labor force participation for young workers since the 1990s. Labor force participation has been declining for prime age men for decades, and about half of prime age men who are not in the labor force may have a serious health condition that is a barrier to working. Nearly half of prime age men who are not in the labor force take pain medication on any given day; and in nearly two-thirds of these cases, they take prescription pain medication. Labor force participation has fallen more in U.S. counties where relatively more opioid pain medication is prescribed, causing the problem of depressed labor force participation and the opioid crisis to become intertwined. The labor force participation rate has stopped rising for cohorts of women born after 1960. Prime age men who are out of the labor force report that they experience notably low levels of emotional well-being throughout their days, and that they derive relatively little meaning from their daily activities. Employed women and women not in the labor force, by contrast, report similar levels of subjective well-being; but women not in the labor force who cite a reason other than “home responsibilities” as their main reason report notably low levels of emotional well-being. During the past decade, retirements have increased by about the same amount as aggregate labor force participation has declined, and the retirement rate is expected to continue to rise. A meaningful rise in labor force participation will require a reversal in the secular trends affecting various demographic groups, and perhaps immigration reform.

Hans Rosling
Speakers who present complex statistical data seldom captivate their audiences. But when Hans Rosling was in charge of interpreting health and other social statistics and disseminating their message, this changed.

Migratory Mythopoeism
For Moyo Ogundipe (1948–2017), as for many contemporary African artists, the global condition has been experienced through the prism of migration. Disillusioned by political turmoil in Nigeria, he fled the country shortly after Sani Abacha assumed power in the early 1990s and settled in the United States, returning only in 2008. At that time, he joined a small but ever-growing returnee community in the southwest of the country and, as a mature artist, invented himself anew. In this article, I argue that the experience of migration, and particularly the experience of displacement (or sense of isolation from both a homeland and a new land) that so often accompanies migration, became the catalyst for his creative practice. He worked within the dynamic tradition of mythopoeia—what he conceived as poetic mythmaking—and produced an imaginative new body of work designed both to make sense of what he often described as \"this inexplicable world\" and help chart his course forward in the multicultural global sphere.

This article honors the memory of three leaders in the negotiation field. In June 2016 we lost Keith Murnighan, one of the leading scholars and teachers of negotiation. In December 2016 Thomas Schelling, one of the foundational theorists in the field, died. Then, in February 2017 we lost Margaret Shaw, a leading alternative dispute resolution practitioner.

The Changing Cyclicality of Labor Force Participation
In this article, I examine whether the labor force participation rate has become more cyclical over time. I find that cyclical fluctuations in the participation rate have become more pronounced, but the most notable shift occurred around 1984—well before the most recent recession. Specifically, the correlation between cyclical components of labor force participation and real gross domestic product more than doubled from the 1948–83 period to the 1984–2017 period. The increased cyclicality of the participation rate reflects an increased cyclicality of employment that was only partly offset by countercyclical fluctuations in unemployment. Notably, the participation rate has not become more cyclical for all segments of the labor force. Although the participation rate of prime-age workers (25−54) has become more cyclical over time, the participation rate of older workers has become countercyclical.

Voices and Hybridity: The Case of María Nsue Angüe's \Ekomo\
Persico features the novel Ekomo (1985) by Maria Nsue Angue which holds a special place in Equatorial Guinea letters as it is the first novel written by a female writer. Persico examines ways in which the female protagonist subverts the silent, subordinate role she is assigned in the novel. Her actions thereby allow her to move beyond some of the constraints placed on women of her ethnicity in precolonial and colonial African society and closer to a contemporary post-colonial reality, albeit one that has its own constraints. Persico's discussion takes into account the historical situation of Fang women in Equatorial Guinea.
