LORIA, Eduardo; MARQUEZ, Juan C.  y  SALAS, Emmanuel. Increase and pauperization of feminine employment in Mexico. Pap. poblac [online]. 2011, vol.17, n.70, pp.183-218. ISSN 2448-7147.

We estimate the long run determinants of total female employment in the Mexican labor market (2000.II-2009.IV) by the technique of structural vector error correction (SVEC). On the one hand, we found that there is a strong and rapid integration of women into the labor market and also a tendency for women to insert in the informal sector. On the other hand, masculine employment does not displace that of women; on the contrary, it seems to be a positive effect of masculine employment on the latter. Finally, we found a negative relationship between unemployment and employment of women, which would be a proxy of Okun's Law (1962) in the sense that unemployment reduces growth and this in turn occupation.

Palabras llave : co-integration; Johansen procedure; structural vector error correction (SVEC); precarious employment.
