| Title | Labor force participation Of women And marital status: the case of Azerbaijan |
| Summary | The aim of this paper is two-fold: 1) to examine the relationship between the Labor Force Participation (LFP) of women and marital status among young women aged 25-39; 2) to identify the primary determinants affecting the LFP of married women aged 20-49 in Azerbaijan. For estimating the LFP of women, I use a probit model. The empirical results show that married women are about 22-24% less likely to participate in the labor force than unmarried women. Further investigation reveals that age, schooling, child (aged 5 or less), residence status (urban vs rural), and age at first marriage are significant factors that affects the LFP of married women |
