Labor Market Attitudes and Experienced Political Institutions

Ugo antonio Troiano

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: In this paper I first present a novel fact: women who have experienced democratic institutions during their adolescence are more likely to participate in the labor market, keeping constant the country, age and many other confounding factors. I then present evidence suggesting that discriminatory attitudes may be a channel for such a finding. Other explanations receive less support from the data.
