Resumo(s)
We investigate the drivers of female labor force participation in the presence of
unbalanced sex ratios due to a scarcity of males. To do so, we exploit exogenous
variation in sex ratios across cohorts and regions, using instruments based on
massive emigration in the 1960s that was fueled by the Portuguese Colonial
War. As the sex ratio declined, female labor force participation increased, while
the marriage rate was una ected. Female representation among top occupations
increased, and the gender pay gap declined, consistent with the predominance of
a demand shock favoring female labor.
