Women Workers in India: Why so Few Among so Many? (2015, neutral): “5 Gaddis and Klasen (2014) explore the effect of structural change on FLFP using sector-specific growth rates.”
Why is the Labour Force Participation of Women Declining in India (2017, background): “While exploring the pattern of female LFPR, studies like Goldin (1994), Mammen and Paxson (2000), Fatima and Sultana (2009), Tam (2011), Gaddis and Klasen (2014), and Chaudhary and Verick (2014) claim that the female labor force participation rate follows a ‘‘U shape” i.e., (i) for countries with a…”
What Explains Uneven Female Labor Force Participation Levels and Trends in Developing Countries? (2019, positive): “To remedy these shortcomings, Gaddis and Klasen (2014) thoroughly analyze the feminization U hypotheses, using different versions of the labor force and income data, and relying on advanced panel models accounting for endogeneity of GDP.”

What Explains the Stagnation of Female Labor Force Participation in Urban India? (2015, neutral): “This has been partly ascribed to conservative social attitudes towards women’s work in the region (see Gaddis and Klasen 2014), and similar factors might be at play in India as well.”
Dynamics of off-farm employment in Sub-Saharan Africa: A gender perspective (2018, background): “[Table 1 here] In line with studies on the increasing labor market participation of women in developing countries (Gaddis and Klasen, 2014), we find that the gender gap in off-farm employment participation has decreased over time in some countries.”
Drivers of Gendered Sectoral and Occupational Segregation in Developing Countries (2020, background): “…reductions of gender gaps in education, and considerable reductions in gender gaps in labor force participation in many developing countries (Gaddis and Klasen 2014; Klasen 2016); but despite this progress, the prevalence of working women and men in particular occupations (which classify…”
