The Effects of Workplace Norms on Female Labor Supply in Japan

本研究以“社会规范”为代理变量，考察了企业的“职场规范”对女性劳动力供给和生育的影响，以及由此带来的女性在工作期间生育的困难。女工面临着一种不健康的工作环境，这主要是因为一旦结婚或生育，她们就面临辞职的压力。这项研究有助于文献研究工作场所规范对女性劳动力的影响。

This study investigates the impact of firms’ “workplace norms” on female labor supply and childbirth, as well as the difficulties faced in childbearing while working because of these norms.We focus workplace norms, with “social norms” as a proxy variable. Female workers face an unhealthy work environment created primarily because of the pressures of resignation in the event of marriage or childbirth. This study contributes to the literature by examining the effects of workplace norms on the female workforce.
