abstract: 'Female labor force participation rates in urban India between 1987 and
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2011 are surprisingly low and have stagnated since the late 1980s.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Despite rising growth, fertility decline, and rising wage and education
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
levels, married women''s labor force participation hovered around 18
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
percent. Analysis of five large cross-sectional micro surveys shows that
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
a combination of supply and demand effects have contributed to this
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
stagnation. The main supply side factors are rising household incomes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
and husband''s education as well as the falling selectivity of highly
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
educated women. On the demand side, the sectors that draw in female
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
workers have expanded least, so that changes in the sectoral structure
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
of employment alone would have actually led to declining participation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
rates.'
