This book provides an in-depth analysis of the labor force participation of Venezuelan women during the 1990s based on the theory of allocation of time between home and market work. The available data for the last years of 1990s provides information to properly identify the formal and informal sector of the labor market. The conclusion that must be drawn from this book is that one cannot generalize about the women s labor force participation just by studying the behavior of women in the aggregate.

This book provides an in-depth analysis of the labor
force participation of Venezuelan women during the
1990s based on the theory of allocation of time
between home and market work. The available data for
the last years of 1990s provides information to
properly identify the formal and informal sector of
the labor market. The conclusion that must be drawn
from this book is that one cannot generalize about
the women s labor force participation just by
studying the behavior of women in the aggregate. The
relative importance of motivating factors depends
strongly on the specific sub-sample (married,
single, or head of household) to which a woman
belongs, a fact unrevealed by previous empirical
work. Based on the empirical results from the
application of the Multinomial Logit Model, women
can be grouped into working for pay (formal sector),
self-employed and/or workers in family businesses
(informal sector), and non-participation in the
labor market. This information will make a valuable
contribution to policy-makers who seek to encourage
the important economic contribution of women to this
previously under-studied labor market.
