摘要

1918年流感大流行在短期和中期对印度女性劳动力参与率有何影响?为了回答这个问题,我们使用了地区层面的事件研究方法和四波十年一次的人口普查数据。我们发现,在受流感死亡率影响最严重的地区,1921年女性劳动力参与率出现了暂时上升,这种上升集中在服务部门。我们发现有启发性的证据表明,寡妇的痛苦劳动力供应和工资上涨有助于解释这一结果。

Demographic Shocks and Women’s Labor Market Participation: Evidence from the 1918 Influenza Pandemic in India

How did the 1918 influenza pandemic affect female labor force participation in India over the short run and the medium run? We use an event-study approach at the district level and four waves of decadal census data in order to answer this question. We find that districts most adversely affected by influenza mortality saw a temporary increase in female labor force participation in 1921, an increase that was concentrated in the service sector. We find suggestive evidence that distress labor supply by widows and rising wages help account for this result.
