| Tiivistelmä: | A dataset of 1,161 household budgets is used to explore married women's labour force participation during the period of industrialization. The data cost doubt on census enumerations of women's work; occupational designations understate the number of women participating, compared with calculations based on earnings. Participation rates tended to decline, although the path of decline varied among occupations. In general, women's experience of industrialization was of increased financial dependence on men. |
