Women's Work and Economic Development
利用跨国数据和印度、泰国的微观数据，研究了女性工作状态随经济发展的变化，发现女性劳动参与率先降后升，从家庭企业转向有偿就业，生育率下降，教育性别差距缩小。
Using a cross-country dataset and microdata from India and Thailand, we examine how women's work status changes with economic development. Several clear patterns emerge: women's labor force participation first declines and then rises with development; women move from work in family enterprises to work as paid employees; fertility declines; and gender gaps in education narrow. Women's education levels, and those of their spouses, appear to be important determinants of women's labor market activities. Broad welfare indicators, such as mortality rates and education levels, indicate that women's well-being improves on average with development, both in absolute terms and relative to men.
