The first paper of this dissertation documents trends in the total and gender specific labor force of 23 countries over the 40 years after 1950. There are several common features in this period across countries as well as some significant differences. For example, in almost all countries there is an increase in women's labor force participation rate and either no change or a slight decrease in men's labor force participation rate. While the changes in female labor force participation rate are due to increases in 25-54 year olds, for men it is the behavior of the young (10-24) and the older (55+) age groups that are responsible for the overall change. Countries show differences with respect to timing and the magnitude of the changes in the labor force participation of men and women. The results also point out the potential of the increase in the share of services in the economy for impacting female labor force participation patterns.

There are several common features in this period across countries as well as some significant differences. For example, in almost all countries there is an increase in women's labor force participation rate and either no change or a slight decrease in men's labor force participation rate. While the changes in female labor force participation rate are due to increases in 25-54 year olds, for men it is the behavior of the young (10-24) and the older (55+) age groups that are responsible for the overall change. Countries show differences with respect to timing and the magnitude of the changes in the labor force participation of men and women. The results also point out the potential of the increase in the share of services in the economy for impacting female labor force participation patterns.
520 $a The second paper formalizes the link between the female labor force participation and the increased role of the service sector in the economy. It develops an economic model that can account for the increase in women's employment and the growth of the service sector at the same time. A growth model with 3 sectors (agriculture, industry, services) and a home production technology is constructed in order to quantitatively assess the contribution of sectoral productivity differences to the change in women's employment decision. The model parameters are calibrated to match time allocations in 1950, and sectoral productivities are taken from the data. Although home production technology is hard to compute, a "reasonable" measure is developed. This model demonstrates that given a higher rate of productivity growth in market services compared to home services, and a high degree of substitutability in preferences between these two, it can account for a large fraction of the observed increase in women's employment from 1950 to 1990.
