Generalizing the Causal Effect of Fertility on Female Labor Supply
We study the effect of fertility on labor supply in Argentina and Mexico exploiting a source of exogenous variability in family size first introduced by Angrist and Evans (1998) for the United States. Our results constitute the first external validation of the estimates obtained for the US. External validation of empirical results is central to the making of rigorous science, but there are very...

However, while the employment rate of married women more than doubled during the last fifty years, that of unmarried women remained almost constant.
