Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Ethnographic research argues that women’s labor force participation in industrializing countries is a strategy for managing the risk of household shortages, but few statistical models of women’s employment incorporate this into their models. Drawing from the literature on household survival strategies, I argue that married women act as household managers who respond to macro-economic, local labor market, and household conditions by differentially allocating their labor between productive and reproductive work. Mexican census data from 1970, 1990, and 2000 shows that in response to weak labor demand conditions precipitated by Mexico’s economic crisis and restructuring, the female labor force became more demographically and socio-economically diverse as a growing number of women entered the labor force to maintain their households’ standard of living. Married women were increasingly likely to enter the labor force, though more often in non-wage than wage positions – a pattern that differed, however, between the export-oriented industrial northern border and older industrial and agricultural regions of the country. A mid-level model of the household as the locus of risk diversification supports the contention that women’s employment may begin as a household survival strategy but often evolves into an adaptation to the restructured economy.
