520 $a This dissertation analyzes the effects of mandatory education and child allowance programs on Arab women's labor force activity and fertility patterns in Israel. In the case of mandatory education, it also looks at effects on age of marriage. It is divided into two chapters, each analyzing a different government program.
520 $a The first chapter uses two Israeli laws expanding education to assess the effects of intermediary and secondary education on Druze and Muslim women's labor force participation, marriage age and fertility rates. Using merged data from three census surveys and over 20 years of annual labor force surveys, I use the sudden increase in educational attainment cause by these laws in two distinct time periods to perform an instrumental variable analysis. The estimated effects of education on labor force participation tended to be strong and significant for both shifts in educational attainment, especially for the Druze population. The first policy-driven shift in intermediate education also had strong estimated effects on marriage age and fertility. The second shift in secondary education had no clear effects on these variables, although there is some evidence of an effect on age of marriage, Insignificant results on fertility may be related to the sample's more restricted age composition.
520 $a The second chapter examines the effect of Israel's child allowance program on the labor force participation and child-bearing patterns of Muslim and Christian Arab women. Large, exogenous fluctuations in allowance sizes over the program's history, especially between 1993 and 1997, are used to test for program effects using both first-differencing and difference-in-difference estimation methods. Besides policy variation over time, one program particularity provided sufficient variation for an estimation of policy effects: The existence of radically different allowance levels for those with three vs. four children. I conclude that while no clear indication exists of immediate labor force activity responses to changes in child allowance levels, results do point to medium-run effects of accumulated changes in the size of child allowances on both labor force activity and child-bearing patterns.
