| Abstract: | This paper estimates a cross-sectional model of married women's labour force participation for five countries: Britain, Denmark, the USA, Sweden and Ireland, using data from the 1980s. The model includes a line arised budget constraint and an instrumented wage variable. Dummy variables were entered for the benefit regimes which unemployed husbands were experiencing. The five countries between them had a range of means tested and other benefit regimes for unemployed men. |
