摘要：In this study we investigated the relationship between female labour force participation rate, part-time employment and total fertility rate in OECD countries from 2000 to 2013. For that aim, we employ panel techniques which panel cointegration, Granger causality and long term structural estimation methods. Correlation between female labour force participation rate and total fertility rate reflects inconsistency between child care and job security. Existence of cointegration between female labour force participation rate and total fertility rate in OECD countries is main finding of this study. Findings show that increase in total fertility rate causes decrease in female labour force participation rate in OECD countries. On the other hand, there are evidences that part time employment provides women easier to have job and inconsistency hypothesis is weaken.
