本研究使用横截面数据来调查女性参与劳动力市场的地区差异。在日本的北方沿海地区，妇女的参与率很高。这一高参与率是由于有子女的已婚妇女作为正式全职雇员参与。供求因素解释了部分差异，但即使在控制了这些因素之后，区域效应仍然存在。我将北方沿海地区的高参与率归因于长期以来对妇女工作的规范。(C)2013爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
This study uses cross-sectional data to investigate regional differences in women's participation in the labor market. Women's participation is high in the northern coastal region of Japan. This high rate of participation is caused by the fact that married women with children participate as regular full-time employees. Supply and demand factors explain part of the differences, but regional effects remain even after controlling for them. I attribute the high participation in the northern coastal region to long-standing norms regarding women's work. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
