The Social Multiplier and Labor Market Participation of Mothers
American Economic Journal: Applied Economics, 2009Co-Authors: Eric Maurin, Julie MoschionAbstract:In France, as in the US, a mother's Labor Market Participation is influenced by the sex composition of her two eldest siblings. This paper shows that it is also affected by the sex composition of the eldest siblings of the other mothers living in the same close neighborhood. Using the sex composition of neighbors' eldest siblings as an instrumental variable, we identify a significant elasticity of own Labor Market Participation to neighbors' Participation. We present supportive evidence by comparing the estimates under two regimes for family benefits (pre- and post-1994 reform) and using quarter of birth as an alternative instrument.

Education and Labor Market Participation of Women in Asia: Evidence from Five Countries*
Economic Development and Cultural Change, 2001Co-Authors: Lisa Cameron, J.m. Dowling, Christopher WorswickAbstract:This paper contributes to the understanding of household decisions of womens Labor Market Participation in Asian societies. It considers the possible impacts of a wifes education on Labor Participation decisions within the context of a collective model of household bargaining. An empirical analysis of the determinants of Participation of married women is also carried out through the use of household-level data from Indonesia Korea the Philippines Sri Lanka and Thailand. It is noted that this cross-country analysis using comparable data allows for the comparison of the determinants of womens Participation in countries with different income levels stages of development and cultural characteristics. Overall results indicate that the determinants of womens Labor force Participation rates in Asia vary dramatically across countries. Evidence suggests that there is no single relationship between womens education and Labor force Participation in Asia. Hence it is important to consider the cultural context when trying to predict the effect of policies that increase womens education levels on womens Participation in the Labor force.

Labor Market Participation of urban women in Southeast Asia by migration status Evidence from Microdata
Journal of Asian Economics, 1999Co-Authors: J.m. Dowling, Christopher WorswickAbstract:Labor Market Participation decisions of migrant and non-migrant women residing in urban areas of Indonesia, the Philippines and Thailand are analyzed using household survey data. MIgrant women are at least as likely to work in the urban Labor Market as are non-migrant women, ceteris paribus. Duration of residence in the urban area was not found to be a significant determinant of ever-married women's Participation decisions. Never-married women in the Philippines have higher Labor force Participation rates than non-migrant women with this difference being smaller for women with more years of residence in the urban area.(This abstract was borrowed from another version of this item.)

neighborhood based networks social resources and Labor Market Participation in two dutch neighborhoods
Journal of Urban Affairs, 2009Co-Authors: F.m. PinksterAbstract:Numerous neighborhood effect studies have reported on the negative consequences of living in disadvantaged neighborhoods for various employment outcomes, such as the duration of welfare dependence and level of income. One hypothesis for explaining this relationship is the social isolation hypothesis, which assumes that low-income residents in disadvantaged neighborhoods are worse off than their counterparts in mixed neighborhoods because they rely on other disadvantaged neighbors to find work. These ideas are addressed by comparing survey data on social resources in the social networks of residents in a low-income neighborhood and a socioeconomically mixed neighborhood in the Dutch city of The Hague. Findings show that living in a low-income neighborhood influences Labor Market Participation indirectly by limiting residents' access to job information. However, differences in access to job information cannot be explained by the high degree of neighborhood orientation in the social networks of residents in the low-income neighborhood.
