Grandparents are regular providers of free child care. Similar to other forms of child care, availability of grandparent-provided child care affects fertility and labor force participation of women positively. However, grandparent-provided child care requires residing close to parents or in-laws which may imply costly spatial restrictions. We find that mothers residing close to parents or in-la...

Military engagements since the early 2000s have brought renewed public interest to issues involving the US military and its veterans. Yet the stark differences in the labor market experiences of veterans and nonveterans have received fairly little attention. In 2013, the labor force participation rate for male veterans ages 18 to 64 was 76.1 percent, significantly lower than the 82.0 percent ra...

Objective The aim of this study was to describe the application of latent class growth analysis (LCGA) to identify different working life trajectories (WLT) using employed working time by year as a repeated measure. Methods Trajectories are estimated using LCGA, which considers all individuals within a trajectory to be homogeneous. The methodology was applied to a subsample of the Spanish WORKi...

I document differences in labor supply between a set of Latin American countries and the U.S. in the period 1990-2005. These differences are mostly explained by large differences in female labor supply. In the U.S. the female labor force participation was 69% by 1990, while in Brazil and Mexico was 39% and 37%, respectively. Females began to participate more in the labor market of these countri...

The Roy model discussed here can be applied to situations where we have individuals selecting into one of two or more sectors. Examples would include, the education level choice (High School vs College) and labor participation choice (join the work force or not, especially for in the context of female labor supply). We shall examine the labor participation choice and applications of the Roy mod...

Studying the impact of fertility on female labor force participation and the form that this participation takes is complicated by the fact that both fertility and participation are potentially endogenous household decisions, requiring simultaneous estimation. Such estimation is further complicated by the need to find appropriate instruments for fertility. Moreover, age at marriage (or the proba...
