Abstract

Women face restrictions of time and resources, they have to spend time to take care for their children, their elderly and sick family, at the same time they have to find resources for daily expenditures and emergencies which limits their participation in the formal labor market. Women use their time to meet their care needs, use their social capital to obtain resources and achieve financial inclusion while they have to work. This study aims to analyze the effects of women’s social capital, financial inclusion and care needs on her labor supply. They were estimated ordered probit models with Heckman´s selection bias correction using data at the individual and municipal level from Mexican Surveys. Results show that when women use their social capital to find jobs and cover their care needs, they are more likely to work more hours or to work full-time, and when they have financial inclusion they are more likely to be working.
