Women Labor Force Participation, Logistic Regression Model, Socio-Economic VariablesAbstract
In logistic regression model, a dichotomous variable, women participation in labor force is introduced to determine whether woman is employed or not. The ratio of employed individuals to not employed is written as Pi = (1 – Pi) where Pi is the conditional probability that a particular person was employed. The operational model consists of the variables, which are supplied by the data. Various socio-economic variables are analyzed in this paper. The justification for incorporating these variables in female labor force participation decision model and their expected signs, are discussed in this paper.
