Female Labor Supply and Divorce: New Evidence from Ireland
Female Labor Supply and Divorce: New Evidence from Ireland If participation in the labor market helps to secure women’s outside options in the case of divorce/separation, an increase in the perceived risk of marital dissolution may accelerate the increase in female labor supply.

متن کاملFertility and Female Labor Force Participation: Evidence from the One-Child Policy in China
Unlike in the United States where fertility is found to be negatively correlated with female labor force participation, China has witnessed a decrease in both fertility and female labor force participation since the 1980s.

متن کاملDeclining Female Labor Supply Elasticities in the U.S. and Implications for Tax Policy: Evidence from Panel Data
Recent work has provided compelling evidence of a long-term decline in US female labor supply elasticities with respect to wages and to income.

This paper addresses this problem by focusing on a sample of women from...
