摘要：We use maximum likelihood models to analyse the impact of female education on labour force participation and the choice of the employment type. The data were obtained from the Uganda Demographic and Health Survey 2006. Our results confirm the hypothesis that female education (at post-secondary level) increases the probability of female labour force participation. Additionally, female education at the secondary and post-secondary levels increases the likelihood of being engaged in wage employment. Measures to educate women beyond secondary level are greatly needed to increase female labour force participation and the choice towards wage employment.
