Dr. Koffi Yapo Yomin Virginie
Abstract: This research has the main objective of analyzing the determinants of women's participation in different segments of the labor market. Based on AIDS indicators survey (EIS-2005), the estimation of multinomial logit model suggests that education level, age, presence of the husband, presence of infant, region, standard of living in terms of wealth index and religion explain significantly the integration of women into the labor market. In addition, this study showed that the agricultural and informal are the main sectors that provide employment for women. The econometric results also revealed that a high level of education promotes women's access to waged employment in the modern private and public sectors.
