The labor market is one of the most important mechanisms for transmitting the benefits of economic growth to different groups in society for every country. Female participation in the labor market provides not only women with an access to income but also socio-economic empowerment. Women’s labor force participation can change the dynamics of the entire labor market. The female labor force can play an important role in the economic growth of a country.
And recently we show that paid worker of women increase day by day. So we can say that this situation arise from some important factors that is the causes of moving from housewife to job as well as labor force. But we do not know what the causes or what factors change this situation so we try to find out this reason that is motivating us.
Some of the relevant works that followed were associated with Ofek (1970), Altman and Barro (1970), Grossman (1972), Heckman (1974, 1979) and others. The works of Mincer (1962,1963), Koster (1966) and Cian (1966) point out that the classical dichotomy of market work and leisure may be appropriately associated with the role played by the husband in a household rather than a wife, under which her contribution made to production activities at home is overlooked.
Social attitudes toward women and their role in society have changed since World War II ended. The female labor force participation rate the percent of civilian women who are in the labor force has increased so much over the last 50 years in the World.
In Canada several studies investigating the determinants of the labor force participation of female were undertaken during the late 60’s( Allingham 1967) to explore the relative and absolute importance of several factors these are important : income, child, education, age, financial position.
Later Spencer (1973) made a more comprehensive study in which he included some other factors which he thought to be the most important in view of the continuing very substantial increase in the labor force participation of women that is religious affiliation of the wife, married women, number of live born children, wife’s place of birth, wife’s age at the time of immigration, pregnancy and labor force of husband.
Another study by Gronau (1976) based on U.S data also supported that above findings. However, it was observed that husband’s wage per hour; unearned family income had negative impact while work experience had positive influence on wife’s labor market participation. Wife’s education was reported here to have negative effect, which was conflicting with the earlier finding.
