| الوصف: | This article studies cultural factors that could explain the actual low rates of female labor force participation (FLP) in Chile. A dis- crete choice model with social interactions is estimated by including the female neighbors’ labor force participation rate as a regressor in the model. To do so, a unique dataset is constructed by merging the FLP rates at the census zone level from the Chilean Census 2017 to the surveyed women in the Chilean Longitudinal Social Study (ELSOC). In order to analyze the heterogeneity of the results, an index of the strength of the ties within neighbors is constructed and the model is estimated separately for women with weak and strong ties within the neighborhood. The results indicate a significant and positive correla- tion between neighbors’ FLP rate and the individual decision of partic- ipation in work only for low-skilled women who have weak ties within the neighborhood of residence. This is consistent with the theory, as weak ties act as a bridge between low-skilled women and new infor- mation and social networks that could be relevant to participate in the labor market. These results are relevant as the existence of the social effect implies a social multiplier that can be used for policy to expand the effect of programs of small scale, especially in neighborhoods with high socioeconomic vulnerability indexes. ; Este artículo estudia factores culturales que podrían explicar las bajas tasas de participación laboral femenina (PLF) observadas en Chile. Se estima un modelo de elección discreta con interacciones sociales, incluyendo como factor explicativo de la participación laboral individual, la tasa de participación laboral de las mujeres que viven en el mismo barrio o zona censal. Para ello, se construye una base de datos inédita que vincula las tasas de PLF a nivel de zonas censales, extraídas del Censo 2017, a las mujeres encuestadas en el Estudio Longitudinal Social de Chile (ELSOC). Luego, para analizar la heterogeneidad de los resultados, se construye un indicador de ... |
