• TITLE: Women and Salaried Labor Supply in Cotonou: What Role for the “Vidomègon” Variable?

  AUTHORS: Emile Aifa, Yvette Dognon

  KEYWORDS: Foster Child, Women, Labor Supply

  JOURNAL NAME: Theoretical Economics Letters, Vol.13 No.1, February 21, 2023

  ABSTRACT: Women make up more than half of the Beninese population and, through their role as producers, represent a very important link in the country’s production chain. As such, employing them in salaried employment and knowing the determinants would undoubtedly produce marginal benefits for the entire national economy. It is to this problem that this research has attempted to respond, having as its experimental perimeter, the cosmopolitan city of Cotonou. The specific effect of the “vidomègon” variable is taken into account. The analysis is based on surveys with the methodological background of the logit model. The estimate would reveal that the supply of salaried work for women in Cotonou is essentially dependent on variables: “vidomègon”, long-term training, work income, husband’s income, etc.
