If the number of women entering the labor force exactly balances the number of men leaving the labor force, then the labor force participation rate will not change. This is because the numerator (number of people in the labor force) and the denominator (total population) will remain the same, and therefore the ratio (labor force participation rate) will remain the same as well.
