The Intergenerational Transmission of World War I on Female Labour

Abstract Demographic shocks tied to World War I’s high death toll induced many women to enter the labour force in the immediate post-war period.

description Abstract Demographic shocks tied to World War I’s high death toll induced many women to enter the labour force in the immediate post-war period. I document a positive impact of these newly employed women on the labour force participation of subsequent generations of women until today.

I decompose this impact into three channels of intergenerational transmission: transmission from mothers to daughters, transmission from mothers-in-law to daughters-in-law via their sons and transmission through local social interactions.
