| dc.description.abstract | The female labor force participation rate is 51.7 for October 2002. For total fertility rate, the most recent projection of the United Nations Population Division for the Philippines for year 2000 to 2005 is 3.24 births per woman, declining at a rate of 11% from its 1999 fertility rate of 3.64 births per woman, a rate that is 1.24 births per woman above replacement level. The correlation of female employment and fertility rate can be analyzed by the role-incompatibility hypothesis, which states that when women's occupation is incompatible with her domestic duties, they are likely to have lower levels of fertility (Villa 1979). This paper inquires into the validity of the hypothesis in the context of a developing country such as the Philippines. This will be done by presenting a descriptive analysis on recent statistical findings of the demographic and socioeconomic factors affecting fet1ility and female labor force participation rate. | |
