What the numbers say
In 2022, San Marino's ratio of female to male labor force participation rate (%) (national estimate) fell 0.16 percentage points on 2021 (from 99.85% to 99.69%).
Across the 18 yearly changes before that (1986 to 2021), the average change was +0.78 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 0.59 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.6 standard deviations below that average, so it was larger than a typical year, though not out of the range seen before.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 1.81 percentage points in 1986 and the biggest yearly fall was 0.48 percentage points in 1989. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

What this measures
Ratio of female to male labor force participation rate is the proportion of female labor force participation relative to male labor force participation. The labor force participation rate is the labor force as a percent of the population ages 15 and older. The labor force is the sum of all persons of working age who are employed and those who are unemployed.
Limitations: Data on the labor force are compiled by the ILO from labor force surveys, censuses, and establishment censuses and surveys. For some countries a combination of these sources is used. Labor force surveys are the most comprehensive source for internationally comparable labor force data. They can cover all non-institutionalized civilians, all branches and sectors of the economy, and all categories of workers, including people holding multiple jobs. By contrast, labor force data from population censuses are often based on a limited number of questions on the economic characteristics of individuals, with little scope to probe.
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average.
