CONCLUSION AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS""; ""REFERENCES""This paper analyzes the role of the tax and benefit system in spurring the impressive increase in Canadian female labor participation in the last decade. Using annual panel data for 10 large industrial countries over the period 1980-2001, I find that reforms in the Canadian tax and benefit system in the mid-1990s account for at least one-third of the observed increase in female participation in the period 1995-2001. The analysis indicates that policy initiatives similar to the "family-friendly" policies introduced in Canada could boost female participation in other countries and help policymakers meet the challenges of population aging.IMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;No. 2006/092WomenEmploymentCanadaBreadwinner modelIptcncCanadaIptcncChild careIptcncDay careIptcncEarly childhood educationIptcncEconomicsIptcncEconomyIptcncEmploymentIptcncGender pay gapIptcncKindergartenIptcncWomenEmploymentBreadwinner modelCanadaChild careDay careEarly childhood educationEconomicsEconomyEmploymentGender pay gapKindergarten331.4/0971Tsounta Evridiki1815939International Monetary Fund.Statistics Department.DcWaIMFBOOK9910967320803321Why Are Women Working So Much More in Canada?
