Abstract:
Women participated as combatants in almost 40% of civil conflicts that occurred between 1979 and 2009. We offer a novel argument about the effect of female combatants upon the outcomes of the civil conflicts that they join. Groups that recruit female combatants are more likely to achieve victory in their conflicts than are groups that do not recruit female combatants. However, when rebel groups rely upon forced recruitment, they risk undermining the benefits associated with female combatants, lowering their likelihood of victory relative to that of the government. We test this conditional argument using multinomial logistic regression models on a sample of 194 rebel groups globally from 1979 to 2009. We find that female participation appears to decrease the likelihood of government victory in civil wars; this effect holds primarily in instances in which female participation could plausibly be thought of as voluntary. Forced female participation, by contrast, appears to increase the likelihood of a government victory.

Abstract:
To reduce the subjectivity of class participation grades, a method was devised that combined forced-distribution peer ratings with professor grades. In seven seminar courses, correlations between professor and peer ratings ranged from .83 to .90. Course/teacher evaluations were high and the prof/peer technique was generally perceived as a fair way to evaluate participation.

Abstract:
Within a field experiment, I present a treatment group with reductions in information, administrative, stigma, and procrastination costs associated with the Advance EITC. The treatment increases Advance participation from 0.3 to 1.2 percent. Another treatment simultaneously encourages 401(k) savings, increasing 401(k) participation from 46 to 50 percent. However, there is no additional increase in Advance participation when coupled with the 401(k) treatment, casting doubt on a long-term forced savings motive. The results indicate that EITC recipients actively forgo the Advance. Further work is needed to identify what underlies these preferences. Possible explanations include uncertainty and/or short-term forced savings motives. (JEL D14, D82, H23, H24, H31)

Abstract:
This article discusses aspirational mobility and the digital gift in the context of forced migration in Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. It illustrates how gifting a mobile device and data enhances the aspirational mobility of forced migrants and intervenes into political codes, which promote social and technological isolation. Through the example of fieldwork with forced migrants and social media analysis, the article shows how participation, self-presentation, and social control were encouraged through the object and data gift. The migrants amplified their aspirational mobility by participating in urban life, presenting themselves in digital space, and maintaining romantic sociality with members of other marginalized migrant groups. The article elaborates on previous notions of technology as expanding social worlds for forced migrants while also highlighting the potential of technology for social control between migrant groups. The article also points to the potential dangers of social media use by asylum seekers for refugee status determination.

Abstract:
AbstractRising landfill costs have forced solid waste managers to consider waste stream reduction alternatives such as household recycling. Explaining the factors which motivate households to recycle is important to regions where households must bear a large portion of the recycling cost because unit-based garbage disposal fees and curbside recycling are not feasible options. Empirical results indicate that residents are responsive to constraints introduced by the household production technology, such as time costs and storage space, but are not responsive to variables measuring a recycling promotional program. Promotion efforts should switch focus from broader “public good” benefits of recycling to reducing household-level household production constraints.

Abstract:
Online surveys have become a popular method for data gathering for many reasons, including low costs and the ability to collect data rapidly. However, online data collection is often conducted without adequate attention to implementation details. One example is the frequent use of the forced answering option, which forces the respondent to answer each question in order to proceed through the questionnaire. The avoidance of missing data is often the idea behind the use of the forced answering option. However, we suggest that the costs of a reactance effect in terms of quality reduction and unit nonresponse may be high because respondents typically have plausible reasons for not answering questions. The objective of the study reported in this paper was to test the influence of forced answering on dropout rates and data quality. The results show that requiring participants answer every question increases dropout rates and decreases quality of answers. Our findings suggest that the desire for a complete data set has to be balanced against the consequences of reduced data quality.

Abstract:
AbstractUsing rich administrative data on unemployed welfare recipients in Germany and propensity score matching, the author analyses the effects of participating in four major active labour market programmes (ALMPs) on various dimensions of job quality. In Germany, welfare recipients may suffer from poor job quality because they are forced to accept any reasonable job offer. However, few studies consider the effects of participation in ALMPs on job quality. The results imply that participation in a programme not only increases the probability of taking jobs but also increases the probability of holding a high-quality job for some dimension of job quality. In particular, further vocational training is very effective in terms of job quality for West German women. Thus, job centres should focus on the activation of unemployed welfare recipients.

Abstract:
AbstractSince regaining independence in 1990 and creating its regular armed forces, Lithuania has had to do a balancing act. It has had to balance between different approaches of state defence, military structure, collective and national defence. Due to events in Ukraine Lithuania had to reconfigure this balance. The Russian threat forced to emphasize strategy of territorial defence, which altogether required tying up forces and enlarging its numbers by bringing back conscription, substantially increased defence budget, followed by higher tempo and scale in procurement and training. However, Lithuania has managed to maintain its activity and participation in international military operations and political initiatives. Its recent contributions have led to an assumption that its participation in various military missions in the future will not diminish, quite the opposite. Increasing the framework of cooperation in terms of defence and security initiatives will involve Lithuania more deeply and will require further contributions.

This thesis focuses on the role and adaptation of participatory design (PD) approaches to create “safe spaces” where young forced migrants can be co-researchers on and co-designers of mobile (geospatial) services to support them upon arrival and during the first stages of their (re)settlement in the host cities. In such particular context, the current research has three main contributions. First, it identified a set of initial challenges and needs of forced migrants upon arrival and in the first stages of their (re)settlement in Münster, North-Rhine Westphalia, Germany. Second, it proposed adaptations on PD's practices to effectively encourage young forced migrants' participation codesigning their digital services. Lastly, it developed two augmented geovisualizations prototypes to assist with their navigation of host cities in such situation.

Abstract:
Forced resettlement is an issue of great humanitarian concern. The disruption it brings to the lives of the people it affects cannot be fully expressed. Many of such people lose the ability of restoring their lives, never to regain it till they die. What is more alarming is when forced resettlement is not caused by conflict or natural disaster but rather conscious development projects like dams, where it is expected that great energy will be channelled towards reducing and if possible avoid the adverse impacts of such forceful resettlement as a matter of human and citizenship right. Sadly, in many instances this never happen. The aim of this study is to find out how the lessons learnt from the Akosombo forced resettlement in Ghana has been used in planning and implementing the on-going Bui forced resettlement also in Ghana. This study also tries to investigate the impacts of the planning and implementation process of the resettlement on the affected communities and households. In order to achieve the above goals, qualitative research methods were employed. The study used in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, direct and participatory observation techniques in accessing the experiences and feelings of the people involved. The informants include the institutions and professionals which undertook the forced resettlement and the affected people. The modernisation and alternative development theories were reviewed to determine which of these approaches is in practice. However, since Ghana claims it is using the World Bank Operational Policy (4.12), which is following an alternative development approach, concepts such as participation and rights are used. Additionally, concepts such as compensation and forced resettlement are also reviewed. It is discovered that, although many lessons have been learnt from the Akosombo forced resettlement, these lessons have not been effectively translated into action plans in order to undertake successful forced resettlement in Ghana. The challenges and errors in planning the Bui resettlement have therefore marred its successful implementation. This has resulted in more adverse impacts on the affected people than good ones such as infertile lands, low farm yield, poor housing structures and total ban on fishing in the Black Volta without alternative fishing grounds.

Abstract:
Taking as sample, data obtained directly by the pension fund of an Italian multinational containing more than 35 thousand members, it is assessed, through logistic regression models, how demographic characteristics might affect individual risk aversion. The test is useful to identify groups of workers that by nature are more risk averse and could be disadvantaged by the 2006 TFR (severance indemnity) Italian pension reform. For example women controlling for age, income, region and financial literacy prefer lower risky portfolio and they are more likely to switch toward safer sub-funds. This analysis could support the policymaker to calibrate a suitable appendix to the last TFR reform in order to cover gaps in opportunities among different kind of risk takers mitigating the so called “social security risk”. In the meantime, it is taken the occasion of such a rich dataset to exploit this sizeable shock in order to test forced (or semi-forced) participation, confirming higher risk aversion for forced participants.

Abstract:
In Thailand, female labour force participation rates are quite high by international standards. Women work for various purposes without any constraints. In this study, many socio-economic factors are investigated in order to find their relationship with female labour force participation. Data from the 1980 Population Census are used. The relationship between female labour force participation and socio-economic factors is positive. Many factors show a close association such as education and number of children living in the household. As education increases , so does the proportion of women in the labour force. The existence of children in the household has a different effect on ever married women. A higher percentage of Widows and divorcees with children work than currently married women with children. As anticipated, ever married women with no children have the highest participation rates. The investigation of marital status, age at marriage and religion shows little effect on female labour force participation, Whatever their marital status, age at marriage or religion, a large proportion of Thai women participate in the labour force. When the fertility levels of working women and housewives are examined, many variables including age, education age at marriage and the practice of contraception are considered. Working women have a lower fertility level than housewives. However, those working women who practice contraception have a larger number of children ever born than do housewives. This is because birth control has only recently become widespread in Thailand. Among working women, agricultural workers have the highest fertility level.

This thesis analysed the effect of female labor force participation rate (FLFPR) on economicgrowth and included changes in male labor force participation rate (MLFPR) to help improve thepower of the model. Here, three robust regressions were used on the sample of 16 Latin Countries(Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala,Honduras, Venezuela, RB, Jamaica, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, El Salvador) for theperiod of 1995-2015 in order to identify the effect of each key variable when tested separately andwhen tested together. According to the results, the coefficients of FLFPR and MLFPR are differentand also the addition of MLFPR to the model that has an explanatory variable FLFPR anddependent variable economic growth clearly improves the predicting power of the model and helpsobtain better coefficients. It was also identified that FLFPR has a strong positive relationship witheconomic growth, while MLFPR has a negative effect on the latter. Finally, the existence of u-shape relationship between FLFPR and economic growth was reaffirmed in this thesis, while itwas also shown that MLFPR does not have a u-shape relationship with the economic growth.

Full text
Abstract:
This study focuses on the female labor force participation rate (LFPR). Cross-country fixed effect analysis of fifty-six countries shows that female LFPR increases with income and education level. Moreover, average schooling years for males is a good fit for female LFPR especially in the low income countries with low education level. Average schooling years for females is a good fit for female LFPR especially in the high income countries with high education level. Higher female tertiary enrollment ratio is significant for higher female LFPR. On the other hand, Turkey has a lower level of female LFPR than the predicted level. Low female education explains the lower female LFPR of Turkey than the countries with similar income level. However, female LFPR has a declining trend in time even if income and education level improves. Institutional background of Turkey indicates the negative impact of urbanization on participation rates. However, under different growth and education scenarios, Turkey can reach higher levels until 2030. Employment policies especially focused on higher education is essential to reach the targets.

Sasso, Alessandro. "Labour force participation and occupational outcomes among Italian women." Thesis, University of Sheffield, 2018. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/22882/.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis is made of three related yet independent empirical studies, exploring the determinants of different labour market outcomes among women, using Italian data. The first study investigates the determinants of the reservation wage gap between unemployed women and men, using data drawn from the Italian Labour Force Survey (LFS). The results indicate that a large part of the gender reservation wage gap is explained by different job preferences between males and females, and by unobserved factors which may be associated with occupational discrimination. These factors shed light on the different employment rates between males and females. The second study uses the Italian Sample Survey on Births to investigate the effect of housework and childcare on female labour force participation, and the relationship between child care and occupational attainment. The findings show that those mothers who receive help with housework and childcare are more likely to be employed three years after the birth of the child. In addition, the use of paid childcare options (nursery or baby-sitters) is positively associated with being employed in managerial positions, but negatively related to non-standard forms of employment such as temporary and part-time employment. In a country characterized by a lack of family-friendly policies, motherhood appears still to be a limiting factor for the career of women. The third study uses the Italian LFS to investigate the determinants of self-employment and different types of self-employment among women. It also examines the determinants of hours worked and satisfaction with respect to hours worked of self-employed females. Our findings show little evidence of gender differences in the determinants of self-employment. However, women are less likely to work in self-employment categories that involve management of other employees. The determinants of hours worked differ between self-employed men and self-employed women. For example, the number of children is inversely associated with the hours worked by self-employed women but positively related to the hours supplied by self-employed men. This is consistent with the traditional division of household work in Italian families. Finally, mothers working as employees are less satisfied with hours when they work long hours compared to those without children, whereas the opposite is found among self-employed women. Self-employment may offer the flexibility that helps Italian women to reconcile career with childcare responsibilities.

Abstract:
AbstractProfound developments in terms of scale, diversity of digital media and prosumerism (García-Galera & Valdivia, 2014; Madianou, 2011) in the last decade have resulted in vast monitoring of movement, migratory or otherwise. While migrants have been outlined as digital natives, early adopters and heavy users of digital technologies (Ponzanesi & Leurs, 2014); the intersection of ICT (Information and Communications Technology) and migration is still under-researched (Oiarzabal & Reips 2012), Madianou’s (2011) work being a notable exception. As Leurs and Prabhakar highlight (2018, p. 247), the implications of the rise of ubiquitous and pervasive technologies (software and hardware) for the migration experience can be grouped in two sets of media practices. On the one hand, these technologies are used to reproduce and (forcefully) enforce top-down control by (state) authorities. On the other, they enable migrants - both voluntary and forced - to connect (dis)affectively, manage kinship and other relationships (Cabalquinto, 2018; Madianou, 2012; Prieto-Blanco, 2016), participate in collective processes (Siapera & Veikou, 2013; Martínez Martínez, 2017; Özdemir, Mutluer & Özyürek, 2019), establish a sense of belonging (Yue, Li, Jin, & Feldman, 2013; Budarick, 2015; Gencel-Bek & Prieto-Blanco, 2020), and move money across borders (Aker, 2018; Batista & Narciso, 2013). “[T]he transformed epistolary base and the communication infrastructure of the migrant experience” (Hedge 2016, p. 3), with their distinct affordances, impact on how migration is currently understood via a focus on connectivity and presence.

In this article, we contemplate immersive virtual environments: we verify researchers’ motivations and constraints in the context of online conferences, and discover in what elements of such conferences researchers wish to participate in virtual reality (VR). A survey was administered using a computer-assisted web interview (CAWI) questionnaire among the sample of 1,575 academics with the POL-on database as the sampling frame. The results indicate that individuals’ contrasting needs and attitudes toward technology determine the degree to which they look favourably upon both remote conferencing and VR. Immersive virtual environments appear to satisfy the need for socialization; ordinary remote conferences fulfil the need for security and the achievement of fundamental conference goals, such as establishing collaboration and publishing research results. Conferences that are hosted remotely must be relevant to the needs of researchers and meet their discrete expectations; only then will such events prove valuable enough that researchers are willing to continue participating in them after the pandemic subsides.

Abstract:
AbstractDetermining the goals and purpose of the medical profession has long been a topic of debate among physicians and scholars alike. If medicine is a practice, then it is necessary to define the aim of the practitioner’s actions. Regardless of the differing perspectives, there is consensus that the promotion and preservation of individual health and well-being is a primary component of medicine. However, an exploration of the medical community’s active participation in the systematic labeling, persecution, forced sterilization, experimentation and eventual mass murder of millions of people deemed inferior or unfit during the Holocaust reveals decidedly different goals. Examining the process by which healers became killers provides an opportunity to hold the profession accountable, take stock of the moral vulnerabilities of physicians and use these lessons to create a post-Holocaust moral ethos that values rehumanization and human dignity.

This work was conducted with the support of 19-20 years old students during physical education classes across the 1st Semester of AY 2017/2018 at the Bucharest University of Economic Study. The study case starts with the premise that all subjects were under/medium level trained and it focuses on a cross-screening survey which includes body mass index, oxygen consumption, heart rate activity, oximetry, spirometry and caloric consumption rate. The participation of subjects was voluntary and for this they signed a written agreement which allows the results to be published. The surveillance process was made using approved devices and a previously tested methodology. The final results revealed that there is no correlation between VO2, BMI and FVC for the subjects of the group.

Abstract:
The light-activated shape memory polymer (LaSMP) is sensitive to ultraviolet light with specific wavelength. It is featured with dynamic stiffness. In this study, LaSMP is used to control the vibration of thin ring shells induced by external loading. Firstly the variation of LaSMP’s Young’s modulus is modeled. The mathematical model reflects the influence of light intensity, the decay coefficient and thickness of LaSMP. Besides, the model is suitable for LaSMPs with different reaction orders. Then, with Lamé parameters and the radii of rings the governing equations of the flexible ring laminated with LaSMP actuators are established. Love operators of LaSMP actuators are derived. Based on the mode expansion method, the modal forces of external loading and LaSMP actuators are given. The modal participation factors are analyzed with the modal forces. As the variation of Young’s modulus to the light intensity is nonlinear, the control effect of LaSMP actuators to common harmonic excitation is not perfect. Because the neural network control is effective to identify complex models, it is introduced to adjust the profile of light intensity. In the case study, the model of LaSMP’s Young’s modulus is validated with the experimental data. Then the forced harmonic responses of the ring are studied. For the mode n=2, the modal participation factor is reduced by 47.7% with the control of LaSMP actuator. To further enhance the control effect, the phase shift method is applied. With π/6 phase shift, the modal participation factor is reduced by 80.8%. With the neural network control method, the modal participation factor is cut down by 98.1%. The study shows that LaSMP actuator provides a new choice to control the forced vibration of flexible rings. It is also possible to apply LaSMP actuator to vibration control of other thin shell structures.

Abstract:
The vibration of grouped blades on a flexible disk should, for purposes of economy and clarity of modal identification, be analyzed using procedures developed for cyclically-symmetric structures. In this paper, a numerical model, based on the theory of cyclically-symmetric structures, is applied to the vibration analysis, and in particular, the harmonic response, of a flexible disk supporting a number of groups, or packets, of turbine blades. Results are presented to show variations in the modal participation factors as a function of such parameters as disk flexibility, blade density, and the total number of assembled groups. It is also shown that many characteristics of the system spectra of natural frequencies are strongly dependent on the number of blade groups.

Abstract:
Abstract Finite element analysis has been used in conjunction with developed algorithms to analyze forced response and random vibration response of printed circuit boards. Analytical predictions have been compared to random vibration test data for model correlation and validation of the analysis methods. The described methods provide design data for predicting deflections and G levels as a function of frequency or predicting RMS levels for random excitation. These data are utilized for initiating design changes and guiding component placement. Deflection versus frequency contributions for random excitation are analyzed to identify critical design frequencies. Forced response contour plots include effects of modal coupling, modal participation factors, and system damping. These data provide a better description of the expected operating deflection shapes man a simple mode shape. All of these methods are used to improve design integrity and ensure specification compliance prior to hardware fabrication. The analyses utilize aggregate board properties, and do not currently provide data for individual components which are installed on the board.

Abstract:
This paper deals with the current legislation, when the definition of a terrorist group and the crime of participation in a terrorist group were enshrined. In this article I deal with the distinction of this group from an organized criminal group and the key features of a crime according to § 312a of the Criminal Code. As in the case of the criminal offense of participation in an organized criminal group, the legislator also made it possible to enshrine the institution of effective remorse. The Czech Republic’s commitments have forced changes in legislation that have not been completely toothless before, however, the current legislation sufficiently reflects the current situation and allows for better coverage of those situations that relate to anti-state activities.

Abstract: Despite decrease in industrial aerosol impact on workers’ health there are disproportionately high prevalence of occupational lung diseases. So, it is of interest to investigate the role of nanoparticles. Objective was to establish lung function features in subjects with occupational chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exposed to aerosols containing nanoparticles. Methods. It was a cross-sectional observational study. Subjects with occupational COPD (GOLD 2011-2021 criteria) exposed to aerosols containing metal (n=26) or silica nanoparticles (n=24) enrolled. Comparison group – tobacco smokers with COPD (n=50). Nanoparticles at workplaces air were measured by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry and by scanning electron microscopy. Groups were matched by gender, age, COPD duration. Results. Occupational COPD in conditions of metal nanoparticles exposure was characterized by severe airflow limitation – forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) was 38%(35%;42%), by prominent increase in lung volumes – functional residual capacity (FRC) was 192% (184%;203%) and by highest decrease in diffusing lung capacity for carbon monoxide (DLco/Va), 34% (31%;38%). In occupational COPD subjects exposed to silica nanoparticles mild airflow limitation, mild increase in lung volumes and substantial decrease in DLco/Va, were seen. In logistic regression model metal nanoparticles mass concentration was associated with DLco/Va, FRC, FEV1, Raw and silica nanoparticles mass concentration – with DLco and FEV1. Conclusion. Nanoparticles in industrial aerosols are associated with occupational COPD phenotype.

Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic forced a rapid transition from onsite to online learning spaces for initial teacher education (ITE); with Universities even adopting new modes of pedagogy and assessment. This study explores: (1) how Maltese ITE undergraduate early years and postgraduate primary education students dealt with more remote forms of learning during the pandemic in Malta, and (2) the teaching/lecturing modes used, by lecturers, for remote learning, assessment and concerns that tie-in with broader student wellbeing. The data were gathered through an online quantitative survey designed to collect information about ITE students’ views. Student responses strongly suggest that in the eventuality of an ongoing vaccination ‘post-COVID’ era, ITE within HE programmes should consider revisiting the course content and delivery, supporting and fostering, blended and online approaches. A ‘blind spot’ reflecting the struggle for independence, autonomy, and control during COVID-19 in a postcolonial Maltese Higher Eduction context also emerged. The insights gained highlight how ITE students’ views on their experiences of online pedagogy, assessment, and how these new modes impacted their wellbeing within a Maltese HE context can serve to inform policy and practice. These results emphasize the need to promote participatory research amongst university students as key to inform HE policy and practice.

Abstract:
Abstract: The article presents the results of a psychophysiological examination of drivers of passenger and export traffic, working in the day and night shifts, respectively. The dynamics of performing psychophysiological tests (changes in the reaction rate, the number of errors, perception of time intervals, etc.) after day and night shifts was revealed, and differences in the subjective perception of the specifics of work in the daytime and at night were also noted. Working the night shift requires the driver to mobilize psychophysiological resources aimed at maintaining active wakefulness and fighting monotony. Day trips are perceived to be more stressful due to more input and traffic. Target: The study of the functional state dynamics of train drivers working without an assistant during day and night trips with an increase in the duration of working hours up to 8 hours in passenger traffic and up to 12 - in export traffic. Methods: 1. Express test of the functional state; 2. «Sense of time» test; 3. Stress resistance test; 4. Survey «Well-being. Activity, mood (SAN)»; 5. Survey «Diagnostics of states of reduced performance (DORS)». Results: The dynamics of the speed and stability of the visual-motor reaction, the accuracy of the perception of time intervals, as well as the subjective perception of the features of day and night shifts by train drivers themselves, makes it possible to distinguish differences in the specifics of shift work: in the daytime it is distinguished by greater intensity, tension, which is reflected in the number of erroneous actions during testing after a day's ride on the simulator, and in the subjective experience of stress noted by the drivers. The need to work at night requires considerable efforts from train drivers to mobilize, which is manifested during a psychophysiological examination before the night shift, however, forced wakefulness during night work leads to a state of monotony among train drivers.

Abstract:
As a result of the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Venezuela, the country has seen a mass exodus of persons into neighbouring Caribbean Small Island Developing States, SIDS, such as Trinidad and Tobago and Curaçao. These SIDS do not have the infrastructure or local policies to implement a traditional refugee camp within their shores. Findings have shown the many disadvantages to existing or traditional refugee camp settlements. However, as forced migrants continue to pour into these Caribbean states, a technological framework is necessary to capture, manage and connect forced migrants to food and shelter using Geographical Information System, GIS, enabled web technology. Thus, the Geospatially Distributed e-Refugee Camp, GDEC, framework aims to define a burden-sharing model between non-profitable organizations and the government utilizing a free and open source software approach to foster citizen participation and rapid development. The framework is developed using well-defined and tested software development methodologies – Lean Startup Methodology and Rapid Application Development. It analyzes existing technologies used by the UNHCR to represent migration and related GIS data on the web. GDEC is a digitized spatial representation, using a service oriented architecture, of forced migrants housed across the island, the volunteers, safe zones and other relevant stakeholders within the system. This camp, though electronic and distributed, adheres to the standards set by the UNHCR and Sphere for refugee camp settlements. The framework will allow SIDS to roll out a software solution rapidly to meet the urgency of the refugee problem.

Abstract:
What is the effect of Covid-19 on labor markets when there is no lockdown? We answer this question using individual-level survey data for Nicaragua from January 2019 to May 2021. We find a negative impact of Covid-19 on the labor force participation right after the pandemic, particularly for young females, but also a quick recovery. We find that female labor force participation is strongly related to school attendance. Using high-frequency smartphone data we find that visits to school areas dropped sharply by 50%, but they recovered soon as with the female labor force participation.
