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(2019, unknown): “In addition, Tam (2011) uses the 5.5 revision of Penn World Tables from 1993, which is by now clearly outdated.”
Modern gender roles and agricultural history: the Neolithic inheritance (2015, unknown): “…studies have argued that female labor force participation follows a Ushaped path in economic development (e.g., Goldin 1995; Galor and Weil 1996; Tam 2010), andwe therefore include the natural log of income and its square.35 The estimated coefficients on income and income squared confirm…”
Push or Pull? Drivers of Female Labor Force Participation During India's Economic Boom (2012, result): “Though the feminization U is sometimes considered a stylized fact, the empirical evidence in support of it is mostly based on cross-country analysis, while panel analyses have produced mixed results (e.g., Çagatay and Özler, 1995; Tam, 2010; Gaddis and Klasen, 2011).”
Gender Equality in Employment in Africa: Empirical Analysis and Policy Implications (2013, background): “On the other hand, the substitution effect works in the opposite direction— as female wages rise, more women have the incentive to enter the labor market (Goldin, 1995; Mammen and Paxson, 2000; Bloom et al., 2009; Chaudhuri, 2009; Tam, 2011).”
What Explains the Stagnation of Female Labor Force Participation in Urban India? (2015, background): “On the demand side, the sectors that draw in female workers have expanded least, so that changes in the sectoral structure of employment alone would have actually led to declining participation rates.”
Economic development, structural change, and women’s labor force participation: (2013, unknown): “…on the impact of economic growth on labor force participation of women (Sinha 1967; Boserup 1970; Durand 1975; Pampel and Tanaka 1986; Psacharopoulos and Tzannatos 1989; Goldin 1990, 1995; Caǧatay and Özler 1995; Mammen and Paxson 2000; Clark et al. 2003; Lincove 2008; Luci 2009; Tam 2011).”
