1 Fertility, Female Labor Force Participation, and the Demographic Dividend David E. Bloom David Canning Günther Fink Jocelyn E. Finlay Program on the Global Demography of Aging Harvard School of Public Health Second Annual Research Conference on Population, Reproductive Health, and Economic Development, December This research was made possible by Grant Number 5 P30 AG from the National Institute on Aging, National Institutes of Health and by a grant from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation.

2 Main Questions in this Paper 1. How do fertility changes during the demographic transition affect female labor force participation? 2. What are the long run implications for the size of the demographic dividend? Identification We identify the effect of fertility using abortion laws as instrument Result Fertility declines lead to a significant increase in female labor force participation augmenting the demographic dividend Fertility, Female Labor Force Participation, and the Demographic Dividend 2

3 Outline Introduction and Literature Data Empirical Results Simulations Conclusion Fertility, Female Labor Force Participation, and the Demographic Dividend 3

4 Introduction and Literature Continued Female Participation Response to Fertility US state-level studies show that a fall in fertility leads to an increase in the extent of female labor force participation: Bailey (2006), Cain and Dooley (1976). Identification Approaches Accessibility of the contraceptive pill: Bailey, 2006 State level legalization of abortion: Fertility effect: Levine et al. (1999); Klerman (1999) Education and Participation: Angrist and Evans (1996) Fertility, Female Labor Force Participation, and the Demographic Dividend 4
