Abstract:

This work investigated the impact of labour force participation on economic growth in Nigeria for the period 1990 to 2021 using annual time series data on real gross domestic product (RGDP), male labour force participation rate (MLFPR) and female labour force participation rate (FLFPR). The objectives are to examine the impact of male labour force participation rate (MLFPR) and female labour force participation rate (FLFPR) on economic growth in Nigeria and to ascertain the causality relationship between male labour force participation rate, female labour force participation rate, and economic

Women workforce participation rate is very important in our country to develop their economy in different ways. In India, workforce participation rate of men is higher than the women in all sectors, because the women labor force participation is also low due to many reasons like lack of awareness about the workforce, financial problems, lack of education, child care, lack of self-security and others. Women workforce participation is low level, so their share in GDP of our country is also low. So, this paper focuses the role of women labour force participation in our country and this paper sugg

Abstract:

Country’s economic growth depends among other factors on the extent to which labour particularly female labour force participates on economic growth enhancing activities. Being the largest contributor in economic activities particularly agriculture in developing countries (over 50%), their participation enables economies to grow in response to higher labour inputs injected. As an outcome, as countries develop; women’s capabilities typically improve as well, whereas social constraints weaken, which enables females to participate on work outside the home. However, the existing literature on this

Pakistan has the lowest Female Labour Force Participation (FLFP) rate in the South Asian region. The study has used the latest round of Labor Force Survey 2014-15 and analyzed the individual and household factors that are associated with low FLFP in Pakistan. This study finds that there is less probability for urban women to take part in labor force activities. At national and regional level higher secondary and above levels of education have positive and significant relationship with FLFP whereas the situation is different for the four provinces of Pakistan.

Abstract:

<p>There are two problems that often emerge in public discussions about the recent trends in the level of participation of the female labor force in Indonesia. The first is the low Indonesian female labour force partipation rate (FLFPR) compared to other ASEAN countries. The second is the trend of stagnation of Indonesian FLFPR—at around 51%—over almost three decades. By reviewing cross-country data from the Global Gender Gap Index and the International Labor Organization, this article rests on the argument that the two features of Indonesian FLFPR are not merely bad news, and should be

In aggregate, an increase in the accumulation of human capital will impact the use of production factors as a source that replaces accumulated physical capital with human capital.

Abstract:

Social and economic development of a nation is often reflected by the existing infant and child mortality rates. In this context, one of the millennium development goals is to reduce infant and child mortalities globally. In particular, women’s socio-economic positions are important variables in explaining infant/child mortality. The correlation between infant/child mortalities and socio-economic positions of women is very strong. This study uses a panel data analysis to measure the effect of labour force participation rate of women on infant/child mortalities. The present article analyzes how

India has one of the lowest work force participation rates (WPR) of women, which is even lower than many countries in Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East and is drastically lower than the participation rates for men (ILO, 2016). Only a very few countries- including Iran, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia- do worse than India when it comes to women's participation in the workforce . The participation rate in South Asia was just 30.5 per cent in 2013 and while the rates have shown increase in most regions and countries, it has fallen in South Asia, particularly on account of its sharp decline in

Research background: We analyse the added worker effect (AWE) and the discouraged worker effect (DWE) from an aggregate perspective. The first effect refers to an increase in labour force participation in response to a decrease in the wage rate. The second effect refers to the decision by workers who have been unsuccessful in their job search to leave the labour market or to decrease their labour force participation. For our analysis, we use the case of Poland, a country with a persistently low labour force participation rate. Purpose of the article: While previous studies focused on the

The composition of the workforce according to education and age is an important determinant of the labour force participation rate. Education and age of the working-agepopulation determine the level of economic activity through specific activity rates (direct effect) and through the numerical distribution of the population according to educational and age categories (indirect effect). The nature of the basic relationship between demographic structures and the level of activity is already well known and explained, but in previous works in which changes in the level of economic activity were inv
