How Female Labor Supply Shapes Aggregate Labor Market Dynamics
Abstract: In this article, we detail key aspects of female labor supply and how it shapes aggregate labor market dynamics. We start by documenting several important features of female labor supply including labor market participation, business cycle volatility, responsiveness to the underlying economic environment and its role for insurance within the household. For this article, we relied on Michele Tertilt and Matthias Doepke's excellent survey "Families in Macroeconomics."
Keywords: female labor market; participation rate; volatility; elasticity;
