Trends in Labor Force Participation of Spanish Women: An Interpretive Essay
描述1900年以来西班牙已婚女性劳动力参与率的变化，利用1979年调查数据估计收入函数和参与模型，发现教育对参与的影响日益增强，支持舒尔茨关于现代化经济中劳动力质量回报递增的假说。
This paper describes trends in labor force participation of Spanish women since 1900. Earnings-generating functions and logit participation models are estimated using a 1979 survey of married women. Estimates are shown to overpredict historical changes in labor force participation rates. A new specification of the participation model using average experience of married women as endogenous variable produces estimates that fit time-series data. These results suggest an increasing effect of education on participation, which confirms Schultz's hypothesis of increasing returns to various quality components of the labor force in modernizing economies.
