本文研究了日本已婚妇女的劳动力供给模式。本研究发展并检验了一个具有不同固定工作成本水平和平均工资差异的离散工作选择模型。这说明了在公司、家庭和自营职业的正规和非全时工作的工作特点不同。在控制技能、地区和其他变量的情况下，工作类别之间的时薪存在20%至30%的差异。研究了子女的数量和年龄、祖母的存在和妻子的教育程度对所选工作类别的不同影响。
所采用的数据来自国家职业和职业研究所进行的1983年妇女职业历史和流动性调查（职业历史和流动性调查），并允许详细的工资回归和考虑不同的工作类别，这在以前的工作中是不可行的。日本劳动力市场的经验规律，如有年幼子女的母亲的劳动参与率没有增长，如果单独处理工作类别，就能更好地解释。
This paper studies the pattern of labour supply of Japanese married women. The study develops and tests a discrete work choice model with a differing level of fixed cost of work and equalizing wage differential s. This accounts for differences in work characteristics of the regular status and part-time status work at firms, the family and self-employment. A 20 to 30 per cent hourly wage differential was obser ved between work categories with control on skills, region and other variables. Different effects are studied of the numbe r and ages of children, a grandmother's presence and the wife's educational attainments on the category of work selected.
The data employed come from The Occupational History and Mobility Survey of Women 1983 (OHMS), conducted by the National Institute for Vocational and Occupational Research, and allow detailed wage regression and consideration of different work categories which were not feasible in previous works. Empirical regulari ties of the Japanese labour market, such as the absence of growth in labour participation for mothers with small children, are better explained when work categories are dealt with separately.
