abstract: 'We investigate the micro-level determinants of labour force
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
participation of urban married women in eight low- and middle-income
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
economies: Bolivia, Brazil, India, Indonesia, Jordan, South Africa,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tanzania, and Vietnam. In order to understand what drives changes and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
differences in participation rates since the early 2000s, we build a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
unified empirical framework that allows for comparative analyses across
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
time and space. We find that the returns to the characteristics of women
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and their families differ substantially across countries, and this
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
explains most of the between-country differences in participation rates.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Overall, the economic, social, and institutional constraints that shape
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
women''s labour force participation remain largely country-specific.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Nonetheless, rising education levels and declining fertility
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
consistently increased participation rates, while rising household
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
incomes contributed negatively in relatively poorer countries,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
suggesting that a substantial share of women work out of economic
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
necessity.'
