| Abstract: | Does the high income of the husband explain the low labor market participation by highly-educated women in Japan? In this paper, I examine the income effect gradient of participation using the Employment Status Survey. Negative income effect –the pattern that a high income of the husband decreases labor market participation by the wife– is present for the employment-to-population ratio for annual income above 4 million yen. Negative income effect becomes much weaker when I separate regular and non-regular employment. When I separate regular and non-regular employment, the income effect and other supply variables explain only a small fraction of the differences between participation rates of college graduates and high school graduates. |
