Labour participation, Non-maternity, Probit trivariate, Union formationAbstract
The aim of this paper is to analyse the changes along the period 2005-2013 in the determinants of the decision to participate in the labour market, union formation decisions and non-maternity decisions of working women in Spain and Portugal. To that aim, we use the European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions Survey. The econometric technique is a trivariate probit model, which allows estimating the three dependent variables simultaneously. The results show, among other things, that age, country of birth, health status and year of the interview have a different impact on Spanish women compared to Portuguese women.
