Women out, children out : the effect of female labor on portuguese preschool enrollment rates
This article tests whether Portuguese female activity rates have increased preschool
enrollment rates. Particularly during the last 20 years, Portuguese women have assumed new
roles in the marketplace and have become active workers outside of the home environment.
This change has encouraged more sensible decisions with respect to preschool enrollment.
Using cointegration techniques, we concluded that female activity rates and real income per
capita caused a long-term increase in preschool enrollment rates. Although the percentage of
agricultural gross value added to the gross domestic product and the number of preschool
institutes were also found to be significant in the estimated vector error correction model,
their causal relationship with preschool enrollment was only short term.COMPETE; QREN; FEDER; Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT

Some evidence that women are more mobile than men: gender differences in U.K. graduate migration behaviour
In this paper we employ dichotomous, multinomial and conditional logit models to analyze the employment-migration behavior of some 380,000 U.K. university graduates. By controlling for a range of variables related to human capital acquisition and local economic conditions, we are able to distinguish between different types of sequential migration behavior from domicile to higher education and on to employment. Our findings indicate that U.K. female graduates are generally more migratory than male graduates. We suggest that the explanation for this result lies in the fact that migration can be used as a partial compensation mechanism for gender bias in the labor market
