摘要：The purpose of this study is to examine factors affecting female labor force participation rate (FLFPR) in Malaysia. Time series data for the period of 1987 to 2018 was used and collected from the Department of Statistics Malaysia and The World Bank. Three independent variables which are fertility rate, economic development and inflation rate, were selected to see their effects on the female labor force participation rate. The multiple regression analysis was employed to determine each variable's significant impact on female labor force participation rate. The autocorrelation and multicollinearity tests were also employed. Findings show that fertility rate is the most important variable affecting the female labor force participation rate in Malaysia. Government can cooperate with private sectors to develop more childcare services inside the company and the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development Malaysia and Ministry of Education must cooperate in increasing the female labor force participation.
